Single - particle correlations in events with the total disintegration of nuclei
New experimental data on the behaviour of the single-particle two-dimensional
correlation functions R versus Q (Q is the number of nucleons emitted from nuc-
lei) and Ap (Ap is the mass of projectile nuclei) are presented in this paper.
The interactions of protons, d, 4He and 12C nuclei with carbon nuclei (at a
momentum of 4.2 A GeV/c) are considered.The values of R are obtained separately
for pi minus mesons and protons.In so doing,the values of R are normalized so
that -1=<R=<1.The value of R=0 corresponds to the case of the absence of corre-
lations.It has been found that the Q- and Ap-dependence of R takes place only
for weak correlations (R< 0.3).In the main (90 %),these correlations are con-
nected with the variable pt and have a nonlinear character, that is the regi-
ons with different characters of the Q-dependence of R are separated: there is
a change of regimes in the Q-dependences of R.The correlations weaken with
increasing Ap, and the variable R gets the least values of all the considered
ones in 12CC interactions.Simultaneously with weakening the correlations in the
region of large Q, the character of the Q-dependence of R changes.Comment: 17 pages, submitted to Phys. Rew.
