Abstract: (Elsevier)
Intermittency effects have been studied directly for the first time in e + e − annihilation, using 37 509 hadronic events at an average CM energy of 〈√ s 〉=35 GeV. The factorial moments F 2 , F 3 and F 4 are given for the rapidity distribution and for the two-dimensional distributions in rapidity and azimuthal angle. The effects of cuts in sphericity and particle momentum are large. Comparison with several fragmentation models are made; some models like the Lund model with O(α s 2 ) matrix element give a qualitative description of the phenomena. The importance of detector effects is demonstrated. The results are discussed in terms of various suggested interpretations of this effect.- electron positron: annihilation
- electron positron: colliding beams
- hadron: electroproduction
- rapidity spectrum
- intermittency
- model: fragmentation
- counters and detectors: effect
