Model Prediction Study of the Nearest Neighbor Spacing Momentum Distributions of Central Nucleus–Nucleus Interactions

Abstract

We investigate the central nucleus–nucleus collisions at 4.2 A GeV/c exploiting the simulated results, obtained from ultra-relativistic quantum molecular dynamic model code1.3. The method used for quantitative analysis is free of the undesired background contributions and needs no prior information. The procured results reveal that the nearest neighbor momentum spacing correlation among the secondary particles sharply decreases with increasing particle multiplicity. The critical values of the multiplicity can be linked with central collisions and employed as a tool to adjust the centrality.
