Abstract
It is argued that the experimentally observed strong upward-bending of the logarithm of factorial moments versus that of phase space partition number in the higher-dimensional phase space of nucleus-nucleus collisions is due to the superposition of elementary collision processes in these collisions. A direct implication of this observation is that, at high enough energy and/or density, when the produced particles from individual elementary processes are melted into a unified system, the above-mentioned superposition effect will disappear and the factorial moments will not be strongly upward-bending any more. So, the disappearance of strong upward-bending of higher-dimensional factorial moments in heavy ion collision may be taken as a signal for the formation of a unique system in this collision.
