Large-deviation analysis of multiplicity fluctuations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce and briefly discuss some of the basic results of large-deviation theory. We propose that large-deviation analysis be used as a tool complementary to the usual intermittency analysis because, as we show, systems exhibiting similar factorial moment behaviour may be quite different from the point of view of large-deviation properties. Large-deviation functions for some simple statistical models are computed and a method is developed to perform this analysis on experimental or simulated data.

Glauber Monte-Carlo predictions for LHC
In the framework of various Glauber-like models we compute several correlation observables in nuclear collisions at the SPS, RHIC, and LHC energies. We analyze fluctuations of the eccentricity of the fireball created in the collision, in particular the variable-axes harmonic moments ε∗, as well as the fluctuations of multiplicity of charged particles. We find moderate model dependence of the sc...
متن کاملFluctuations and Transverse Momentum Distributions in the Color Clustering Approach
We present our results on transverse momentum fluctuations, multiplicity fluctuations and transverse momentum distributions for baryons and mesons in the framework of the clustering of color sources. We determine under what conditions the initial state configurations can lead to color connection, and more specifically, if variations of the initial state can lead to a transition from disconnecte...
متن کاملMultiplicity Distributions and Charged-neutral Fluctuations
Results from the multiplicity distributions of inclusive photons and charged particles, scaling of particle multiplicities, event-by-event multiplicity fluctuations, and chargedneutral fluctuations in 158·A GeV Pb+Pb collisions are presented and discussed. A scaling of charged particle multiplicity as N part and photons as N 1.12±0.03 part have been observed, indicating violation of naive wound...
متن کاملNet Primary production changes affected by climate fluctuations (Case study: Qazvin plain)
Vegetation changes can change the rainfall and temperature cycle and also climate fluctuations, especially temperature and precipitation parameters, have significant effects on vegetation. Climate change causes restriction for plant activities which cause changes in vegetation indices including NPP. Considering that Qazvin plain has been affected by climate fluctuations and drought in recent ye...

for the L3 Collaboration Multiplicity fluctuations are studied both globaly (in terms of high-order moments) and locally (in terms of small phase-space intervals). The ratio of cumulant factorial to factorial moments of the charged-particle multiplicity distribution shows a quasi-oscillatory behaviour similar to that predicted by the NNLLA of perturbative QCD. However, an analysis of the sub-je...
