Scaling of Charged particle multiplicity in 28Si-nucleus interactions

TL;DR

This paper investigates the scaling behavior of charged particle multiplicity distributions in 28Si-nucleus collisions at high energies, testing the validity of KNO scaling and its generalizations across different multiplicity ranges.

Contribution

It provides an analysis of multiplicity distributions in 28Si-nucleus interactions and evaluates the applicability of KNO scaling and its generalized form at various energy levels.

Findings

Data obey KNO-G scaling for lower multiplicity events

Deviations from KNO-G scaling occur at the tails of the distributions

Scaling behavior varies with multiplicity and energy levels

Abstract

Multiplicity distributions and their scaling behaviour for various types of secondary charged particles produced in 28Si-nucleus collisions at 4.5A and 14.5A GeV are investigated. The validity of KNO scaling and its generalized form has been tested by studying the parameters, Sn (z ) and Sn ( Z') The data obey KNO-G scaling for lower multiplicity events and departs from the predictions at the tails of the distributions.
