A study of maximum pseudorapidity gap distributions in 16O-nucleus interactions at 3.7, 60 and 200A GeV/c
The main aim of this paper is to present some interesting results on event-by-event maximum 2-particle gap ([Formula: see text]) in the pseudorapidity space of the relativistic charged particles [Formula: see text] produced in the [Formula: see text]O-AgBr interactions at 3.7, 60 and 200[Formula: see text]A GeV/c. The distribution of [Formula: see text] has been obtained for the experimental and AMPT simulated data. Distinct peaks are obtained in the [Formula: see text]-distributions of the relativistic charged particles in low [Formula: see text]-region. Further, the position of the peak is found to depend on the incident energy. The experimental results are not well supported by the results obtained for the AMPT simulated data. The findings presented here may be found useful in understanding the mechanism of the multiparticle production in relativistic nuclear interactions.
