Abstract

Fluctuations in rapidity are examined, by using CERN EMU05 experimental data differentiating charge-sign in S + Pb collision at 200 GeV/amu. Rapidity spacing analyses show limiting fluctuations at higher order spacings, while Poisson fluctuations are universally indicated in the lower spacings. The limiting behavior suggests that a long-range positive correlation, such as Wigner repulsion, is in order in the rapidity space. No clear evidence for the intermittent phenomena has been observed in the resultant normalized factorial moments in all charged, positively and negatively charged particles, respectively.
