Abstract:
I discuss the results from a study of the central 12CC collisions at 4.2 A GeV/c. The data have been analyzed using a new method based on the Random Matrix Theory. The simulation data coming from the Ultra Relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics code were used in the analyses. I found that the behavior of the nearest neighbor spacing distribution for the protons, neutrons and neutral pions depends critically on the multiplicity of secondary particles for simulated data. I conclude that the obtained results offer the possibility of fixing the centrality using the critical values of the multiplicity.
