Self-Similarity and Scaling Behavior in Nuclear Collision
Abstract
Description
A simple model is used to explore issues related to self-similarity, intermittency and scaling behavior in nuclear collisions. Both scaled factorial moments and power moments are considered in the investigation of these features. The product mass yields are used to construct probability distributions and generalized Renyi entropies. The scaling properties of the resulting Renyi entropies are studied. Both exponential and power law behavior are found. A discussion of dimensions associated with these scaling properties is also given. An analysis of some experimental data is presented.
