Scaled factorial cumulant moment analysis in hadron-nucleus interactions

Scaled factorial moment techniques have been widely used for several years in investigating fluctuation phenomena in high-energy multiparticle production. Any factorial moment of a given order contains information about all lower orders of multiparticle correlations and in fact is found to be dominated by two particle correlations. A method is needed which removes lower order correlations to explicitly focus on the correlations of a given order. To extract the genuine multiparticle correlations, the factorial cumulant moments are designed
