We construct a simple toy model and explicitly demonstrate that the balance function (BF) can become negative for some values of the rapidity separation and hence cannot have any probabilistic interpretation. In particular, the BF cannot be interpreted as the probability density for the balancing charges to occur separated by the given rapidity interval.

A detailed study of centrality dependence of event-by-event fluctuations of maximum particle density of the produced particles in narrow pseudo-rapidity interval in terms of the scaled variance [Formula: see text] has been carried out for [Formula: see text]O-emulsion interactions at 4.5[Formula: see text]AGeV/[Formula: see text]. 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. Presence of event-by-event fluctuations of maximum particle density is reflected in the multiparticle production process for different centrality classes. The event-by-event fluctuations are found to decrease with the increase of pseudo-rapidity interval. The event-by-event fluctuations are found to decrease with decreasing centrality of collisions. A comparison with the analyzed results of the total disintegration events has also been carried out. Experimental analysis results have been compared with those obtained from the analysis of Monte Carlo simulated (MC-RAND) events in order to extract the dynamical fluctuations.

Abstract This paper presents the measurements of $$\pi ^{\pm }$$π±, $$\mathrm {K}^{\pm }$$K±, $$\text {p}$$p and $$\overline{\mathrm{p}} $$p¯ transverse momentum ($$p_{\text {T}}$$pT) spectra as a function of charged-particle multiplicity density in proton–proton (pp) collisions at $$\sqrt{s}\ =\ 13\ \text {TeV}$$s=13TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. Such study allows us to isolate the center-of-mass energy dependence of light-flavour particle production. The measurements reported here cover a $$p_{\text {T}}$$pT range from 0.1 to 20 $$\text {GeV}/c$$GeV/c and are done in the rapidity interval $$|y|<0.5$$|y|<0.5. The $$p_{\text {T}}$$pT-differential particle ratios exhibit an evolution with multiplicity, similar to that observed in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s}\ =\ 7\ \text {TeV}$$s=7TeV, which is qualitatively described by some of the hydrodynamical and pQCD-inspired models discussed in this paper. Furthermore, the $$p_{\text {T}}$$pT-integrated hadron-to-pion yield ratios measured in pp collisions at two different center-of-mass energies are consistent when compared at similar multiplicities. This also extends to strange and multi-strange hadrons, suggesting that, at LHC energies, particle hadrochemistry scales with particle multiplicity the same way under different collision energies and colliding systems.

The yield ratios of negatively to positively charged pions (π−/π+), negatively to positively charged kaons (K−/K+), and anti-protons to protons (p¯/p) produced in mid-rapidity interval in central gold-gold (Au-Au) collisions, central lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions, and inelastic (INEL) or non-single-diffractive (NSD) proton-proton (pp) collisions, as well as in forward rapidity region in INEL pp collisions are analyzed in the present work. Over an energy range from a few GeV to above 10 TeV, the chemical potentials of light flavor particles (pion, kaon, and proton) and quarks (up, down, and strange quarks) are extracted from the mentioned yield ratios in which the contributions of strong decay from high-mass resonance and weak decay from heavy flavor hadrons are removed. Most energy dependent chemical potentials show the maximum at about 4 GeV, while the energy dependent yield ratios do not show such an extremum.

Recent work on the particle composition (hadrochemistry) of the final state in proton–proton (p–p), proton–lead (p–Pb) and lead–lead (Pb–Pb) collisions as a function of the charged particle multiplicity ([Formula: see text]) is reviewed. It is argued that for high multiplicities (at least about 20 charged hadrons in the mid-rapidity interval), consistent results are obtained in the thermal model.

An analysis is made of the particle composition in the final state of proton-proton (pp) collisions at 7 TeV as a function of the charged particle multiplicity (dNch/dη). The thermal model is used to determine the chemical freeze-out temperature as well as the radius and strangeness suppression factor γs. Three different ensembles are used in the analysis: the grand canonical ensemble, the canonical ensemble with exact strangeness conservation, and the canonical ensemble with exact baryon number, strangeness, and electric charge conservation. It is shown that for the highest multiplicity class the three ensembles lead to the same result. This allows us to conclude that this multiplicity class is close to the thermodynamic limit. It is estimated that the final state in pp collisions could reach the thermodynamic limit when dNch/dη is larger than twenty per unit of rapidity, corresponding to about 300 particles in the final state when integrated over the full rapidity interval.

We collect the yields of charged pions ( π − and π + ), charged kaons ( K − and K + ), anti-protons ( p ¯ ), and protons (p) produced in mid-rapidity interval (in most cases) in central gold–gold (Au–Au), central lead–lead (Pb–Pb), and inelastic or non-single-diffractive proton–proton ( p p ) collisions at different collision energies. The chemical potentials of light particles and quarks are extracted from the yield ratios, π − / π + , K − / K + , and p ¯ / p , of antiparticles to particles over an energy range from a few GeV to above 10 TeV. At a few GeV (∼4 GeV), the chemical potentials show, and the yield ratios do not show, different trends comparing with those at other energies, although the limiting values of the chemical potentials and the yield ratios at very high energy are 0 and 1, respectively.

The occurrence of intermittent patterns in 14.5 A GeV/c 28 Si -nucleus interactions is examined in terms of Scaled Factorial Moments (SFMs), introduced by Bialas and Peschanski. Further, to examine the dependence of various interesting characteristics of SFMs on incident energy, the data on 4.5 A GeV/c 28 Si -nucleus collisions available in our laboratory are analyzed. Interestingly, log-log plots between rapidity interval δη and the qth order factorial moment Fq for both the energies exhibit linear behavior indicating thereby the presence of intermittency in the interactions investigated. Moreover, to look at the fractal nature of the particle emitting sources, variation of the fractal dimensions, dq with the order of the moment is investigated. Finally, study of the variation of λq [=(ϕq+1)/q)] with the order of the moment, q indicates a possibility of non-thermal phase transition in certain types of events
