Evidence of scaling of void probability in nucleus-nucleus interactions at few GeV energy

The rapidity gap probability in the {sup 24}Mg-AgBr interaction at 4.5GeV/c/nucleon has been studied in detail. The data reveal scaling behavior of the void probability in the central rapidity domain which confirms the validity of the linked-pair approximation for the N-particle cumulant correlation functions. This scaling behavior appears to be similar to the void probability in the Perseus-Pisces supercluster region of galaxies. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
