Abstract

AbstractAs shown recently, one can obtain additional information from the measured charged particle multiplicity distributions,P(N), by investigating the so-called modified combinants,$C_j$Cj, extracted from them. This information is encoded in the observed specific oscillatory behaviour of$C_j$Cj, which phenomenologically can be described only by some combinations of compound distributions based on the Binomial Distribution. So far this idea has been checked inppand$e^+e^-$e+e-processes (where observed oscillations are spectacularly strong). In this paper we continue observation of multiparticle production from the modified combinants perspective by investigating dependencies of the observed oscillatory patterns on type of colliding particles, their energies and the phase space where they are observed. We also offer some tentative explanation based on different types of compound distributions and stochastic branching processes.
