Novel Scaling of Multiplicity Distributions in Sequential-Fragmentation and Percolation Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel scaling for the distributions of total number of fragments (i.e., multiplicity) is found in the shattering phase of nonequilibrium, sequential-fragmentation process and in the percolation process. It is the counterpart of the Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling when multiplicity fluctuations are small. The relations between n-fragment cumulants and two-fragment cumulants provide easy tests to check this scaling experimentally. [S0031-9007(97)03383-8]

About the determination of critical exponents related to possible phase transitions in nuclear fragmentation
We introduce a method based on the finite size scaling assumption which allows to determine numerically the critical point and critical exponents related to observables in an infinite system starting from the knowledge of the observables in finite systems. We apply the method to bond percolation in 2 dimensions and compare the results obtained when the bond probability p or the fragment multipl...
متن کاملCentrality dependence of the multiplicity and transverse momentum distributions at RHIC and LHC and the percolation of strings
The dependence of the multiplicity and the transverse momentum distribution on the number of collisions are studied for central and peripheral Au-Au collisions at SPS, RHIC and LHC energies in the framework of percolation of strings. A scaling law relating the multiplicity to the mean transverse momentum is obtained. Our results are in overall agreement with the SPS and RHIC data, obtaining a s...
متن کاملMicroscopic model approaches to fragmentation of nuclei and phase transitions in nuclear matter
The properties of excited nuclear matter and the quest for a phase transition which is expected to exist in this system are the subject of intensive investigations. High energy nuclear collisions between finite nuclei which lead to matter fragmentation are used to investigate these properties. The present report covers effective work done on the subject over the two last decades. The analysis o...
متن کاملTHE SCALING LAW FOR THE DISCRETE KINETIC GROWTH PERCOLATION MODEL
The Scaling Law for the Discrete Kinetic Growth Percolation Model The critical exponent of the total number of finite clusters α is calculated directly without using scaling hypothesis both below and above the percolation threshold pc based on a kinetic growth percolation model in two and three dimensions. Simultaneously, we can calculate other critical exponents β and γ, and show that the scal...
متن کاملBIMODALITY IN SPECTATOR FRAGMENTATION W. Trautmann and the ALADIN Collaboration
The fluctuations of the largest fragment charge of a partition and of the charge asymmetries of the two or three largest fragments in spectator decays following 197Au + 197Au collisions at 1000 MeV per nucleon are investigated. The observed bimodal distributions at specific values of the sorting variable Zbound exhibit features known from percolation theory where they appear as finite-size effe...
