Abstract: (APS)
We present the experimental results on multifractal structure of medium energy particles in 800-GeV proton-AgBr interactions. We observe a power-law dependence of the multiplicity moments on mean multiplicity in varying bin widths of the angular distribution. The experimental values of generalized dimensions are determined from the slopes for two different categories of interactions in different multiplicity regions. The observed behavior of generalized dimensions Dq and of the related singularity spectrum shows a consistent departure from randomness and is a typical multifractal. The observations support a possible cascading mechanism in the emission process of target fragmented medium energy protons. The inhomogeneity of the probability distribution measured by the difference 1-Dq decreases with increase in the average multiparticle density.
