Moment Analysis of Multiplicity Distributions

الأصل · EN

Moment analysis of global multiplicity distribution previously done for e⁺e⁻ and hh processes is applied to hA and AA collisions. The oscillations of cumulants as functions of their rank are found in all the cases. Some phenomenological approaches and quark-gluon string models are confronted to experimental data. It has been shown that the analysis is a powerful tool for revealing the tiny features of the distributions, and its qualitative results in various processes are rather stable for different multiplicity cut-offs determined by experimental (or Monte-Carlo) statistics.
