Description

A procedure for analyzing the data on multiplicity distributions in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions is proposed. A specific plot of the dispersion versus rapidity window is suggested so that significant information on dynamical fluctuation can be extracted. Arguments are presented to advance the speculation that the proposed analysis may be a method to discover signatures of quark-gluon plasma. (orig.)
