    LÉVY INDEX AND MULTIFRACTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF RING-LIKE AND JET-LIKE EVENTS IN HIGH ENERGY NUCLEAR COLLISIONS

    Fractals01 Mar 2010

    We perform a Lévy index analysis of relativistic shower particles produced in the interactions of 32S nuclei at 200A GeV with nuclear emulsion using the results of factorial moment Fq in two-dimensional anisotropic (η - ϕ) space. We carry out the same investigation for target fragments produced in 32S-AgBr interactions at 200A GeV energy for both events in emission angle space and azimuthal angle space. The analysis reveals that for pions the value of Lévy index μ is 1.491 ± 0.025 for ring-like events and μ ~ 2.004 ± 0.054 for jet-like events which indicates different degree of multifractality. In case of target fragments jet-like events show a value of μ ~ 1.871 ± 0.010 whereas ring-like events yields an unphysical value (μ > 2) the implication of which need to be explored.
