Forward-Backward Multiplicity Correlations in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collision

Forward-backward multiplicitycorrelations are investigated by analyzing the experimental data on 6 O-AgBr collisions at 14.5A, 60A and 200A GeV/c and the findings are compared with the predictions of Monte Carlo model, h IJING. t he findings indicate that the observed correlations are mainly of short-range in nature which arise due to the decay of clusters and (or) resonances produced in the central rapidity region. t he result reveal that the range of F-B correlations extend to rather longer range with increasing beam energy which might be due to overall multiplicity fluctuations arising because of nuclear geometry. h owever, there is no evidence for the presence of long-range correlations even at the highest beam energy considered.
