Description

An increase of the scaled factorial moments with decreasing bin size of phase space---the phenomenon popularly known as intermittency---is a common feature in multiparticle production in relativistic high energy interactions. The data of 16O + Ag/Br interactions at 2.1 GeV/nucleon also revealed the same feature which, usually, is identified as the revelation of singularity structure of correlation functions. In this article, we extend our analysis of 16O + Ag/Br interactions at 2.1 GeV/nucleon data in terms of other tools (giving correlations) such as the scaled factorial correlators, the factorial cumulant moments, and the split-bin correlation functions. The study reveals that the information on correlations of our particle production data are contained in two-particle dynamical correlations only and that the two-particle dynamical correlations are due to a resonancelike production mechanism
