On intermittency in heavy ion collisions and the importance of {gamma}-conversion in a multi-dimensional intermittency analysis

Abstract

Non-statistical fluctuations are used to probe the dynamical behaviour of multiparticle production in heavy ion interactions at ultra-relativistic energies. In a one-dimensional analysis a 1/{rho}-scaling is established and it is furthermore found that effects from higher order particle correlations are small. In a two-dimensional analysis it is shown that a small background of particle-pairs with a narrow opening angle can distort the observed signal. As an example we estimate of the influence of {gamma}-conversion and find that in our experiment {gamma}-conversion alone gives results consistent with the experimental observations from a two-dimensional analysis. Whereas a two-dimensional analysis filters events where two particles are extremely close in phase space, the one-dimensional analysis picks out events with particles clustered in pseudorapidity, which are at the same time diluted in the azimuthal plane. (au).
