SCALING PROPERTIES OF FLUCTUATION RESULTS FROM THE PHENIX EXPERIMENT AT RHIC

Description

The PHENIX Experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has made measurements of event-by-event fluctuations in the charged particle multiplicity as a function of collision energy, centrality, collision species, and transverse momentum in several heavy ion collision systems. It is observed that the fluctuations in terms of σ2/μ2 exhibit a universal power-law scaling as a function of Nparticipants that is independent of the transverse momentum range of the measurement.
