Abstract
Some results of data analysis of hadron production in \(p + p\) and \(A + A\) collisions obtained in the framework of \(z\)-scaling are discussed. A possible signature of phase transition in the matter created in central \({\text{Au}} + {\text{Au}}\) collisions in the scaling regime is observed. The concept of the \(z\)-scaling is based on the principles of self-similarity, locality and fractality of particle interactions at a constituent level. The self-similarity variable \(z\) and the scaling function \(\psi (z)\) are expressed via the experimentally measurable quantities and some model parameters characterizing the structure of colliding objects, fragmentation process and specific heat of the produced medium. The irregularities of fractal entropy and specific heat parameter \({{c}_{{{\text{AuAu}}}}}\) observed in \(K_{S}^{0}\)-meson production in \({\text{Au}} + {\text{Au}}\) collisions at RHIC are considered as an indication of phase transition in nuclear matter.
期刊介绍:
The journal Fizika Elementarnykh Chastits i Atomnogo Yadr of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna) was founded by Academician N.N. Bogolyubov in August 1969. The Editors-in-chief of the journal were Academician N.N. Bogolyubov (1970–1992) and Academician A.M. Baldin (1992–2001). Its English translation, Physics of Particles and Nuclei, appears simultaneously with the original Russian-language edition. Published by leading physicists from the JINR member states, as well as by scientists from other countries, review articles in this journal examine problems of elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, experimental data processing, accelerators and related instrumentation ecology and radiology.
