Abstract

A search for non-statistical fluctuations was performed in 200 GeV per nucleon oxygen and sulphur ion-emulsion interactions selected by a high transverse energy trigger. No clear signal of dynamical correlations or of unusual fluctuations was found.

    Citation Excerpt :

    For π+ p and K+p collisions of the NA22 Collaboration [38–40] the scaling exponent υ is found to be 1.448 and for nuclear collisions [41,18], υ = 1.55. Also for some other experimental data [17,42–45] the value of υ is found to be greater than its critical value indicating that there is no evidence for a second-order phase transition in these experiments as well. The values of βq in η- space may be found by the least square fitting of the experimental data for all the three types of interactions.
