Abstract
Two events of ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions observed in the Japanese-American cooperative emulsion experiment show large fluctuations of the pseudorapidity distributions of the charged secondaries. The fluctuations are analyzed by use of the power spectrum. A simulation is used to estimate the statistical noise. Fairly strong signals are found in the Si-AgBr event, while the Ca-C event exhibits only weak signals.Keywords
