S+Au interactions at 200,4 GeV were observed using emulsion chambers, permitting measurement of pseudorapidities in the central region with precision --0.01 unit. Scaled-factorial-moment analyses are extended to bin sizes smaller than those accessible to other fixed-target experimental techniques. For a sample of 151 central collisions, moments are calculated using both "horizontal" and "vertical" analysis techniques. While the moments are found to rise (in a log-log plot) with decreasing pseudorapidity bin size 8rf, their slopes roll off to approximately zero for 8rj < 0.1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
