ABSTRACT: An
attempt is made to study various types of multiplicity distributions and
multiplicity correlations amongst secondary charged particles produced in 4.5
and 14.5 A GeV/c 28Si-nucleus interactions. The results reveal that
multiplicity correlations of the type
, where i, j = b, g,
s and h with i ≠ j, are linear. The observed multiplicity correlations are
nicely fitted by the method of least squares fitting of the type,
= b + ani. Furthermore, the
multiplicity distributions of relativistic charged particles and compound
multiplicity at 4.5 A GeV/c are nicely fitted by Poisson distributions with
peaks at relatively lower multiplicities. However, in the case of multiplicity
distributions of various types of secondary charged particles produced in 14.5
A GeV/c 28Si-nucleus collisions definite trends are not discernible.
