Fractality in rapidity space and low temperature intermittency in multihadron processes

  • Published:

Abstract

We study intermittency effects in high energy collisions introducing a fractal measure in rapidity space and formulationg the hadronization sector of the S-matrix within the Ginzburg-Landau approach. The properties of the critical Feynman-Wilson fluid provide us with a boundary condition forT=T c whereas a low temperatures (T≪T c ) a strong amplification of the intermittency effect is found, corresponding to a local minimum of the effective free energy. The significance of this solution for the interpretation of the intermittency phenomenon for low multiplicities is discussed and a comparison with experimental measurements is attempted, within the two-component model.
