Evidence of Entropy Scaling in Relativistic Nucleus–nucleus Collisions

Abstract: Significance of entropy, S, for explaining multiparticle production phenomenon in high energy nucleus–nucleus collisions is highlighted. For this, experimental data on 4.5A and 14.5A GeV/c 28 Si -nucleus interactions are analyzed. An attempt is also made to explain the phenomenon using HIJING simulated interactions. Entropy is calculated for different classes of interactions. The plots of [Formula: see text] against [Formula: see text] for different categories of interactions reveal scaling behavior.

“…These findings are, thus, in fine agreement with those reported earlier [16] for hh collisions in the energy range from ∼2 GeV to a few TeV. In AA collisions too, entropy has been observed by Khan et al [21] to increase with increasing beam energy. It has been reported [16] that for hh collisions in the energy range of ∼22 to 900 GeV, total entropy produced in a limited pseudorapidity bin, when normalized to maximum rapidity in the centre-of-mass frame, is found to be essentially independent of the energy and identity of the colliding hadrons, indicating, thereby, the presence of a kind of entropy scaling.…”

“…Such a scaling of entropy has also been observed by Mizoguchi and Biajima [17] in pp collisions at cms energy range, 0.2-7 TeV. In case of AA collisions too, a similar scaling behaviour has been observed by Khan et al [21] in 4.5 and 14.5A GeV/c 28 Si-nucleus collisions and also by Ghosh et al [20] in 60A GeV/c 16 O-AgBr and 200A GeV/c 32 S-AgBr collisions. An attempt is, therefore, made to examine the occurrence of entropy scaling with the present data that would definitely cover a significant energy range (AGS and SPS).…”

“…Different workers have investigated the evolution of entropy in high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions at different times [50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66]. The entropy of produced particles can easily be calculated from the multiplicity distribution of the data.…”

“…In high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions, entropy measurement of produced particles can provide important information about the multiparticle production mechanism. Different workers have investigated the evolution of entropy in multiparticle production in various highenergy interactions at different times [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. The entropy of produced particles can easily be calculated from the experimental multiplicity distributions.…”
