Backward shower particle production in high energy nucleus–nucleus collisions — an outlook to centrality dependence

Abstract

A detailed study on the centrality dependence of the different aspects multiplicity distribution of the shower particles produced in the backward direction ([Formula: see text] in nuclear emulsion track detector has been carried out for [Formula: see text]Ne-emulsion interactions at 4.1 AGeV/c. Depending on the values of the total charges or sum of the charges of noninteracting projectile fragments, event samples were classified into four centrality classes. From the analysis presented in this paper, qualitative information about the assembly of shower particles in the backward direction has been extracted.
