A. Delzoppo et al., FLUCTUATIONS OF GLOBAL OBSERVABLES - A FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE IN THE INTERPRETATION OF NUCLEUS-NUCLEUS COLLISION EXCLUSIVE DATA AT INTERMEDIATE-ENERGY, Physical review letters, 75(12), 1995, pp. 2288-2291
We investigate experimentally the issue of selecting classes of multip
le particle decay events in nucleus-nucleus collisions at intermediate
energy taking into account the fluctuations of global observables. We
show that observed binomial-like multiplicity distributions do not ne
cessarily imply evidence of reducibility to an elementary binary emiss
ion probability.
