Abstract

Probability of detecting no particles in a limited phase space is investigated by analysing the experimental data on 14.5A GeV/c 28Si-nucleus collisions. The findings are compared with the predictions of HIJING Monte-Carlo model. A scaling behaviour of the void probability is observed which confirms the linked-pair approximation for N-particle cumulant correlation functions. The analysis of the mixed events also indicates that the scaling behaviour observed in the present study is a feature of the experimental data.
