Abstract
We use scaled factorial cumulant moments to analyze pseudorapidity flu ctuations in nucleus-nucleus collisions. This approach is similar to t he method of scaled factorial moments except that it removes the effec ts of lower-order correlations upon a given moment. Significant second -order cumulants and cumulant indices (slopes with respect to bin size ) are found for all of the interactions studied. These indices are fou nd to have an inverse dependence upon average pseudorapidity particle density.
