Intermittency in e sup + e sup minus and lepton-hadron collisions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6282914
The intermittency data in e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} and lepton-hadron collisions are reviewed. The power-law behavior of the moments has been established by various e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} experiments and a {mu}p experiment. The intermittency in the two-dimensional space of rapidity and azimuthal angle is much stronger than in the rapidity space only. The neutrino-nucleus data indicate significant effects from nuclear reinteractions. The LUND parton shower model fits the data better than the matrix element model without special retuning. The relations among the moments of different orders are in good agreement with the predictions by the negative binomial and pure birth distributions. The origin of the intermittency in e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} and {mu}p collisions is consistent with the self-similar cascade mechanism of jet formation. 11 refs., 7 figs.
