Evidence of intermittent fluctuation of target fragments in ⁸⁴Kr--AgBr interactions at 1.7 A GeV

Intermittency and fractal behaviour have been studied of emission spectra of target associated fragments from ^84Kr--AgBr interactions at 1.7 A GeV in emission angle space and azimuthal angle space separately. The intermittent behaviour is observed in the two spaces separately. From the intermittency exponent, the anomalous fractal dimension d_q is calculated and the variation of d_q with the order q is investigated. It is found that the anomalous dimensions are found to increase with the order of moments q, thereby indicating the relation of multifractality to production mechanism of target associated fragments.
