A STUDY OF MULTIFRACTALITY AND PHASE TRANSITION IN HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS — EXPERIMENTAL DATA VERSUS MODEL SIMULATION

Abstract

In this paper, we have investigated the presence of multifractality and the possibility of quark–hadron phase transition in the multiparticle production in [Formula: see text]O–AgBr, [Formula: see text]Si–AgBr and [Formula: see text]S–AgBr interactions at 4.5[Formula: see text]AGeV/[Formula: see text] in the framework of Ginzburg–Landau theory of second-order phase transition following the Takagi moment methodology. The same analysis with the factorial moment method has also been performed. Experimental results have been compared with the prediction of UrQMD and AMPT models. A comparison of experimental results with the analysis of UrQMD simulated RHIC data by the method of Takagi moment has also been presented. Comparison of experimental results with previous results of emulsion experiments has been mentioned.
