Wavelet Analysis of Shower Track Distribution in High-Energy Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions by Provash Mali, Soumya Sarkar, Amitabha Mukhopadhyay, Gurmukh Singh

“…For the first time, the wavelet results are compared with a model prediction based on the ultrarelativistic quantum molecular dynamics (UrQMD), where we adopt a charge reassignment algorithm to modify the UrQMD events to mimic the Bose-Einstein type of correlation among identical mesons—a feature known to be the most dominating factor responsible for local cluster formation. Statistically significant deviations between the experiment and the simulation are interpreted in terms of nontrivial dynamics of multiparticle production.…”
