Sequent correlations in evolutionary stochastic point processes and its application to cascade theories

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

Sequent correlations in multiplicative stochastic processes are defined with the aid of product densities associated with the process. Such sequent correlations describe the process in a more detailed manner than the conventional correlations especially with regard to the parametric values characterizing the process. The evolution of any particular member of the multiplicative entities in the parameter is brought out by the sequent correlations. It is found that such types of correlation functions are very useful in the description of electromagnetic and perhaps nucleon cascades. To demonstrate this possibility, correlation functions of the first few orders are evaluated for the simple case of electron-photon cascade.

Riassunto

Si deflniscono le correlazioni susseguenti nei processi stocastici moltiplicativi, eon l’aiuto delle densità di prodotto associate al processo. Tali correlazioni susseguenti descrivono il processo in modo più dettagliato delle correlazioni convenzionali, speeialmente per quanto riguarda i valori parametrici ehe caratterizzano il processo. L’evoluzione di ciascun membro delle entità multiplicative del parametro è messa in evidenza dalle correlazioni susseguenti. Si trova che questi tipi di funzioni di correlazione sono molto utili nella descrizione delle cascate elettromagnetiche e forse di quelle nucleoniche. Per dimostrare questa possibilità, si valutano le funzioni di correlazione del primo ordine nel caso semplice delle cascata elettrone-fotone.
