Some results on 32S-emulsion interactions at 200 AGeV

The study of relativistic heavy-ion collisions has provided new avenues in the field of high energy physics for giving information about the mechanism of particle production. The availability of heavy-ion beams at high energies has given an opportunity to detect the existence of new phase of hadronic matter, namely the Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) in laboratory. It is important to achieve complete information regarding the mechanism of particle production in nucleus-nucleus collisions. When an energetic projectile collides with targets of nuclear emulsion, a number of charged and uncharged particles are produced. The emergence of these particles occurs in a very short time and after this the nucleus remains excited for quite a long time on nuclear scale. The nucleus then de-excites resulting in the emission of a large number of nucleons and other heavy fragments. Usually, the particles emitted through this process of evaporation appear as black tracks as well as low energy grey tracks in nuclear emulsion. In this paper results on the scaling of multiplicity distributions of slow particles (black and grey) produced in the interactions of 32S-Em at 200 AGeV/c has been studied in order to check the validity of KNO-scaling. A simplified universal function has been used to represent the experimental data
