Transverse momentum distributions and particle correlations from EMU05

Abstract Transverse momentum distributions and multi-particle correlations of charged particles in 200 GeV/AMU heavy-ion collisions are studied with the Magnetic-Interferometricr-Emulsion-Chamber (MAGIC) for central collision events in 16 O + Pb and 32 S + Pb interactions. The P T distribution of negative-charged particles below 1 GeV/c fits a single exponential, while that of positive particles contains additional contributions of both highand low-P T particles. The like-sign, two particle correlations indicate HBT interferences, while that of the unlike-sign pairs possibly suggests other components. The apparent, multi-particle, charge-sign clustering is studied with the run-test and with Monte Carlo simulations. Some of the data are consistent with chance coincidence and the HBT interference.
