Multifractal specific heats in ultrahigh-energy nuclear collisions Original Research Article

We analyze the experimental data on the charge pion multiplicity distribution in 16O–AgBr interaction at 60 A GeV in terms of multifractals. From the knowledge of generalized dimension Dq, multifractal specific heats are calculated from G-moment and F-moment analysis and compared with other nucleus–nucleus interactions data at comparatively low energy. It has been observed that the constant specific heat approximation suggested for hadronic collision fails in nucleus–nucleus interactions.
