Strongly Intensive Fluctuations Between the Multiplicity and the Total Transverse Momentum in pp Interactions in the Multipomeron Exchange Approach

Аннотация

We calculate the strongly intensive variables Σ and Δ that suppress trivial volume fluctuations and are constructed for the charged particle multiplicity n and the total transverse momentum P_t in a modified multipomeron exchange approach for proton-proton interactions in the range of collision energies attainable with the SPS and LHC accelerators. In this approach, the interaction between the color quark-gluon strings formed from cut pomerons are effectively taken into account; in this case, the role of these interactions increases as the collision energy increases. The inequalities Σ(P_t, n) > 1 and Δ(P_t, n) < 1, which agree with the experimental data, are the main result of the calculations for energies attainable at the SPS. We show that as the energy increases, Σ(P_t, n) behaves nonmonotonically and Δ(P_t, n) increases.
