A. Jipa et al., THE MOMENTS METHOD FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE MULTIPLICITY DISTRIBUTIONSIN NUCLEUS-NUCLEUS COLLISIONS AT HIGH-ENERGIES, Journal of physics. G, Nuclear and particle physics, 22(2), 1996, pp. 221-230
To obtain some experimental information on the possibility of observin
g interesting phenomena in nucleus-nucleus collisions-correlations, fl
ow, etc-the multiplicity distributions of the particles generated in s
uch collisions are analysed using the moments method. The role of the
collision geometry is emphasized. Different calculations are compared
with experimental results for negative pion yield in nucleus-nucleus c
ollisions at 4.5A GeV/c. The experimental results are obtained at the
Syncrophasotron of JINR Dubna.
