Event-by-event multiplicity fluctuations and correlations in ring-like and jet like events in ${}^{197}$Au-AgBr collisions at 11.6A GeV/c

Abstract

Event-by-event (ebe) multiplicity \fll and \cor amongst the charged particles emitted in the forward-backward symmetric pseudorapidity (\et) windows of varying widths and positions are investigated by analyzing the experimental data on ${}^{197}$Au-AgBr collisions at 11.6A GeV/c. The findings are compared with the predictions of relativistic transport model, \urq and independent particle emission (or mixed event) model. It is observed that the \fll in ebe mean pseudorapidity values and those reflected from the \fll strength measure, \(Φ\) are relatively higher as compared to those expected from the statistically independent particle emission model. The study of the variance, \(σ_c^2\) of a suitably defined forward-backward asymmetry variable \(C\) as a function of \et window width and position indicates the presence of strong short-range correlations, which might arise due to isotropic decay of cluster-like objects either in forward or backward \et region. Furthermore, analyses of events having \ring and \jet substructures, carried out separately, suggest that the major contribution to the observed \fll in the data sample are due to ring-like events, while the contributions from the \jet events appear to be rather small. The observed difference in the behavior of correlation strengths from the two types of events might be due to the enhanced emission of Cherenkov gluons, giving rise to the \ring substructure. The mixed event analysis further confirms that the observed \fll are the distinct feature of the data, which disappear after event mixing.
