BEYOND INTERMITTENCY - ERRATICITY

Erraticity analysis of multiparticle production data is introduced as a way of extracting the maximum amount of information on self-similar fluctuations. It is presented as the next logical step to take beyond the intermittency analysis. An erraticity spectrum e(alpha) can be det ermined analogous to the multifractal spectrum f(alpha). An analytical example is presented to elucidate the method of analysis and the type of results that can be obtained.
