E-by-e fluctuations of initial conditions in interactions of light, intermediate and heavy nuclei at energies 4 - 200 GeV per nucleon

Abstract

A better understanding of initial conditions of nuclear interactions is one of the most important heavy ion physics problems. The paper considers these problems in the centrality selected interactions of light (C, O, Ne) – (beam) and heavy (Au, Pb) – (beam) ions with light (C/N/O) – (target) and heavy (Ag/Br) – (target) nuclei using the data of JINR-AGS-SPS target emulsion experiments with limited statistics. To reveal a possible system structure dependence, the analyses of E-by-E fluctuations on the longitudinal event shape and multiplicity have been performed, vertically and horizontally.
