N. Armesto et al., SCALING BEHAVIOR AND CORRELATIONS IN THE STRING FUSION MODEL FOR HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS, Zeitschrift fur Physik. C, Particles and fields, 67(3), 1995, pp. 489-493
The KNO scaling, the scaling of multiplicities, the behaviour of fluct
uations in the transverse momentum as a function of the multiplicity a
nd the long range correlations in nucleus-nucleus collisions are studi
ed by a Monte Carlo code based on the string fusion model. II is shown
that the fusion of strings produces a strong reduction of the long ra
nge correlations at high multiplicities, which could be detected exper
imentally. On the contrary the KNO scaling, the scaling of multiplicit
ies and the ct behaviour of fluctuations in the transverse momentum ar
e not modified when string Fusion is included.
