Abstract
The Monte Carlo generator (LUCIAE) is used to investigate the fluctuations of K/pi ratios at super proton synchrotron energies. The distribution of K/ pi ratios seems to be Gaussian from the simulation and the distribution wid th, and the relative variances are larger than those from the Poissonian-ty pe pure-statistical fluctuations. This discrepancy might be attributed to t he dynamical fluctuations involved in the LUCIAE model.
