Probability of detecting no particles in a limited phase space is
investigated by analysing the experimental data on 14.5A GeV/c 28Si-nucleus
collisions. The findings are compared with the predictions of
HIJING
Monte-Carlo model. A scaling behaviour of the void probability is observed which
confirms the linked-pair approximation for N-particle cumulant correlation
functions. The analysis of the mixed events also indicates that the scaling
behaviour observed in the present study is a feature of the experimental data.
