Many-particle rapidity correlations in light-ion interactions at the CERN intersecting storage rings

Many-particle rapidity correlations have been studied for aa,dd, andpp interactions at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings using the Split-Field Magnet detector, and basing the investigating on the distributions of rapidity gaps between particles. In the framework of a simple cluster model, it is found that all the data samples have similar features and that the events contain clusters of two different types.
