Title: SCALING PROPERTIES OF FLUCTUATION RESULTS FROM THE PHENIX EXPERIMENT AT RHIC.

Conference ·
OSTI ID:913414

The PHENIX Experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has made measurements of event-by-event fluctuations in the charged particle multiplicity as a function of collision energy, centrality, collision species, and transverse momentum in several heavy ion collision systems. It is observed that the fluctuations in terms of {sigma}{sup 2}/{mu}{sup 2} exhibit a universal power-law scaling as a function of N{sub participants} that is independent of the transverse momentum range of the measurement.
