In this paper, we present a study on the factorial correlator and short-range correlation among the singly charged particles produced in 28 Si-Ag/Br interaction at 14.5 A GeV by using a set of nuclear emulsion data. Another set of data generated by a Monte Carlo code based on the ultra-relativistic quantum molecular dynamics model has been utilized for comparison with the experiment. In most cases the simulated result(s) cannot match the experimental counterpart(s). Several genuine

... al effects relevant to the short-range correlation and in particular to the one-dimensional intermittency phenomenon are observed from our analysis. Whenever needed, references to the results of similar experiments on high-energy interactions are given. PACS numbers: 25.75.−q, 25.70.Mn, 24.60.Ky
