Abstract
The occurrence of intermittent patterns in 14.5 A GeV/c 28 Si -nucleus interactions is examined in terms of Scaled Factorial Moments (SFMs), introduced by Bialas and Peschanski. Further, to examine the dependence of various interesting characteristics of SFMs on incident energy, the data on 4.5 A GeV/c 28 Si -nucleus collisions available in our laboratory are analyzed. Interestingly, log-log plots between rapidity interval δη and the qth order factorial moment Fq for both the energies exhibit linear behavior indicating thereby the presence of intermittency in the interactions investigated. Moreover, to look at the fractal nature of the particle emitting sources, variation of the fractal dimensions, dq with the order of the moment is investigated. Finally, study of the variation of λq [=(ϕq+1)/q)] with the order of the moment, q indicates a possibility of non-thermal phase transition in certain types of events
