Remarks on Koba-nielsen-olesen Scaling
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that there is a second properly normalized KNO scaling function, nPn(n/n̄) = φ(z), which has certain advantages in the analysis of KNO scaling. First, the nPn are not influenced by the statistical and systematic uncertainties of n̄ hence φ(z) provides more selective power than the original KNO scaling function n̄Pn(n/n̄) = ψ(z). Second, the new scaling function generates scale parameter σ = 1 since it depends only on the combination of z and the scale parameter of ψ(z). An analysis of φ(z) is given using ee annihilation data for charged particle multiplicity distributions.

Asymptotic multiplicity scaling: a renormalization group perspective
A generalization of the Polyakov-Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling law of the multiplicity distributions P (n, s) is developed. It states that a suitable change in the normalization point of P (n, s) compensated by a rescaling can restore data collapsing onto a universal curve if the original scaling rule is violated. We show that the iteratively executed transformation of P (n, s) can be viewed as v...
متن کاملNovel Scaling of Multiplicity Distributions in Sequential-Fragmentation and Percolation Processes
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 c...
متن کاملKNO scaling in processes of electron - positron annihilation to hadrons
The charged particles multiplicity distribution in the KNO form is discussed in processes of ee annihilation at energies √ s 14 – 206.2 GeV. The experimental data are compared to data, obtained with Monte Carlo simulation in PYTHIA in the Lund quark string model. It is shown, that both experimental and simulated data are described by the same distribution function in the KNO form. It is shown, ...
متن کاملWilson Loops and QCD/String Scattering Amplitudes
We generalize modern ideas about the duality between Wilson loops and scattering amplitudes in N = 4 SYM to large N QCD by deriving a general relation between QCD meson scattering amplitudes and Wilson loops. We then investigate properties of the open-string disk amplitude integrated over reparametrizations. When the Wilson loop is approximated by the area behavior, we find that the QCD scatter...
متن کاملOn the Asymptotics of Nielsen-Olesen Vortices
We investigate analytically and numerically the asymptotic behavior of the Nielsen-Olesen vortex solutions and show that they approach their asymptotic values exponentially but with exponents that differ from the ones quoted in the literature. In particular, it is shown that for values of the Higgs self-coupling that are larger than a critical value, both the Higgs field and the gauge field app...
