Summary
The dispersion parameter and rapidity gap distributions are used to study correlations among shower particles produced in12C-Em collisions at 4.5 GeV/c. Clear evidence of clusterization is found. Each cluster is observed to decay into at least three charged particles and the nature of clusterization is independent of the shower particles’ multiplicity. The cluster size is found to be independent of the nature of projectile, target as well as the energy of the projectile. Further, no evidence is found for the production of heavy fireball-type clusters.
