Pseudorapidity Dependence of Multiplicity and Transverse Momentum Fluctuations in pp Collisions at SPS Energies

Abstract

A search for the critical behavior of strongly interacting matter was performed at the NA61/SHINE experiment by studying event-by-event fluctuations of multiplicity and transverse momentum of charged hadrons produced in inelastic p+p collisions at 20, 31, 40, 80 and 158 GeV/c beam momentum. Results for the energy dependence of the scaled variance of the multiplicity distribution and for two families of strongly intensive are presented. These quantities were studied in different pseudorapidity intervals, which correspond to changing the baryon chemical potential and the temperature at the freeze-out stage. The strongly intensive measures Δ[
