Features of forward-backward multiplicity correlations in hadronic collisions

Abstract

The forward–backward multiplicity correlations among the charged particles produced in the interactions of 24 and 400 GeV protons and 50 and 340 GeV pions with emulsion nuclei are being investigated. The results of hadron–nucleus interactions have been compared with those of hadron–hadron interactions. The variations of average values in the forward–backward hemisphere with the multiplicity in the opposite hemisphere have been studied by dividing the data into different ηc-intervals also.
