Abstract: (APS)
We use scaled factorial moments (SFM’s) to analyze pseudorapidity fluctuations of nonstatistical origin in p-nucleus interactions at 800 GeV. The SFM’s are found to exhibit a power-law dependence on the pseudorapidity interval size. The anomalous dimensions dq have been calculated up to order 5. The fractional dimensions Dq have been extracted from the slopes of the multifractal plots. Both the multifractal and intermittency approaches have been found to be complementary to each other. The behavior of Dq and dq with order q indicates a possible self-similar random cascading mechanism for multiparticle production. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
