Intermittency in hadronic decays of the Z0

Creators

Description

A factorial moment analysis has been performed on the differential multiplicity distributions of hadronic final states of the Z0 recorded with the OPAL detector at LEP. The moments of the one-dimensional rapidity and the two-dimensional rapidity versus azimuthal angle distributions are found to exhibit 'intermittent' behaviour attributable to the jet structure of the events. The moments are reproduced by both parton shower and matrix element QCD based hadronisation models. No evidence for fluctuations beyond those attributable to jet structure is observed. (orig.)
