Investigation of centrality dependence of dynamical fluctuations in narrow pseudo-rapidity interval on event-by-event basis

Abstract

A detailed study of centrality dependence of event-by-event fluctuations of maximum particle density of the produced particles in narrow pseudo-rapidity interval in terms of the scaled variance [Formula: see text] has been carried out for [Formula: see text]O-emulsion interactions at 4.5[Formula: see text]AGeV/[Formula: see text]. Depending on the values of the total charges or sum of the charges of noninteracting projectile fragments, event samples were classified into four centrality classes. Presence of event-by-event fluctuations of maximum particle density is reflected in the multiparticle production process for different centrality classes. The event-by-event fluctuations are found to decrease with the increase of pseudo-rapidity interval. The event-by-event fluctuations are found to decrease with decreasing centrality of collisions. A comparison with the analyzed results of the total disintegration events has also been carried out. Experimental analysis results have been compared with those obtained from the analysis of Monte Carlo simulated (MC-RAND) events in order to extract the dynamical fluctuations.
