Abstract

Two different classes of events exist in case of 16O–AgBr interactions at 60 AGeV, namely, ring-like and jet-like structured events. We have performed a rigorous study on the erratic behaviour of produced particles in ring-like and jet-like events in 16O–AgBr interactions at 60 AGeV with the help of entropy index μq. We have analysed the data in two dimensional phase space. The data reveal different pionisation for ring-like and jet-like events.
