Abstract:The behaviour of the normalized variance of the multiplictiy distribution and the normalized transverse momentum fluctuations with centrality is naturally explained by the dependence on centrality of the number of clusters of color sources. This dependence predicts a nonmonotonic behaviour with centrality of the multiplicity associated to high p T events. The clustering of color sources is also able to reproduce the increase with centrality of the forward-backward long-range correlations and its supression com… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
