EVIDENCE OF FRACTAL BEHAVIOR OF PIONS AND PROTONS IN HIGH ENERGY INTERACTIONS — AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION

Abstract

Different fractal methods (Factorial moment, Takagi moment) have been used for the analysis of fractal behavior of multiparticle production in π - - AgBr interaction at 350 GeV/c of compound multiplicity distribution in emission angle (cos θ) space and azimuthal angle (ϕ) space. The generalized fractal dimensions D q are determined according to two methods. Results indicate multifractal behavior in compound multiplicity distribution. From the knowledge of D q , the multifractal specific heat is calculated. Results are compared with the corresponding results of shower multiplicity.
