Centrality dependence of some characteristics of relativistic nuclear interactions and percolation cluster formation

TL;DR

This paper explores how centrality influences particle production in relativistic nuclear interactions, proposing percolation cluster formation as a mechanism for observed regime changes and potential deconfinement.

Contribution

It introduces the idea that percolation cluster formation explains centrality-dependent phenomena and the onset of deconfinement in relativistic nuclear collisions.

Findings

Evidence of regime change and saturation in particle characteristics.

Percolation clusters potentially signal deconfinement onset.

Abstract

Some of the centrality experiments indicate regime change and saturation in the behaviour of characteristics of the secondary particles produced in relativistic nuclear interactions. We discuss that the responsible mechanism to explain the phenomena could be the percolation cluster formation and we expect appearance of deconfinement in the cluster.
