SOME INTERESTING RESULTS ON COMPOUND MULTIPLICITY IN C-12-NUCLEUS REACTIONS AT 4.5-A GEV C/

An attempt was made to investigate some interesting characteristics of compound multiplicity in C-12-nucleus collisions at 4.5 A GeV/c; the number of grey and shower particles taken together is termed as compou nd multiplicity. The result reveals that the compound multiplicity dis tributions become wider with increasing size of the struck nucleus. Th e value of the ratio [N-c]/D(N-c) is seen to remain independant of the projectile mass. Moreover, the dispersion of the multiplicity distrib ution is found to increase linearly with increasing value of [N-c]. Fi nally, the results also suggest that the value of inclination coeffici ent does not depend on the nature of the projectile.
