Multifractality and Intermittency Study of Ultrarelativistic [sup 32]S–AgBr and [sup 16]O–AgBr Interactions: Further Evidence of a Nonthermal Phase Transition.

This paper presents an analysis of medium energy target protons emitted in [sup 32]S-AgBr interactions at 200 AGeV and [sup 16]O-AgBr interactions at 60 AGeV in terms of scaled factorial moments up to the fifth order. The study gives evidence of a nonthermal phase transition in the [sup 32]S-AgBr data. The multifractal nature of the particle spectra has also been observed using a new method proposed by F. Takagi.
