摘要：
We investigate the transverse momentum correlations of pairs of opposite charged pions near their production threshold. Through intermittency analysis, we search for power-law dependence on observation scale, as dictated by critical QCD. We analyze the data on the most central collisions in four A systems (A = p, C, Si, Pb) at maximum SPS energy. We find a significant effect for the SiSi system approaching in size the critical QCD predictions as measured by the intermittency index I center dot (2). Absence of this effect in the (pi (-), pi (-)) sector of the SiSi system gives further support that the observed behavior in the isoscalar mode is of critical origin.
