The Influence of Multiplicity Distribution on the Erraticity Behavior of Multiparticle Production

Abstract

The origin of the erraticity behaviour observed recently in the experiment is studied in some detail. The negative-binomial distribution is used to fit the experimental multiplicity distribution. It is shown that, with the multiplicity distribution taken into account, the experimentally observed erraticity behaviour can be well reproduced using a flat probability distribution. The dependence of erraticity behaviour on the width of multiplicity distribution is studied.
