- Abstract
In the present work target excitation dependence of the self-similar cascading rate has been studied in detail in the framework of Levy stable law using the experimental data of pions obtained from π-AgBr interactions at 350 GeV/ c. TheLevy indices µ measured from the analysis fulfill the requirement of the Levy stable region 0 ⩽ µ ⩽ 2. The study gives an evidence of self-similar cascading mechanism responsible for multiparticle production. The different values of µ indicate different rates of cascading for different degrees of target excitation. Moreover, the values of universal scaling exponent ( ν) obtained from Ginzburg-Landau theory indicate that no clear evidence of second-order phase transition has been found in the interaction.
