Number-ratio fluctuations in high-energy particle production

  • 1. Experimental High-Energy Physics, Lund University, P. O. Box 118, SE-22100 Lund (Sweden)

Description

In this article we will discuss the previously proposed quantity νdyn[C. Pruneau, S. Gavin, and S. Voloshin, Phys. Rev. C 66, 044904 (2002)], as a measure of the number-ratio fluctuations in high-energy particle production. We will show that νdyn has pleasing mathematical properties making it ideal for the purpose. We will demonstrate its relation to two-particle correlations and how this measure can be generalized to higher-order correlations.
