Some Results on Angular Characteristics of Relativistic Charged Particles Produced in 12C-emulsion Interactions at 4.5 A GeV/c

Abstract

An attempt has been made to study the angular characteristic of relativistic charged particles produced in 4.5 A GeV/c 12C-emulsion collisions. The dependence of these characteristics on the multiplicity of the relativistic particles, Ns, has also been investigated. The results reveal that the angular distributions of relativistic particles do not depend on Ns, except at small angles where contribution of singly charged particles fragments enhances the number of relativistic charged particles. It is also observed that the maximum of pseudorapidity, η and <η> distributions, shifts towards the lower value of η with increasing multiplicity of Ns. The study of the rapidity dispersion of relativistic charged particles reveals that the clusterization effect occurs significantly among the final state relativistic particles produced in heavy ion interactions.
