Non-thermal phase transition in pp collisions at 400 GeV/c?

Factorial moments are calculated up to order q=7 by the star integral method for the data of pp collisions at 400 GeV/c. Multifractality is observed in hadroproduction supporting a cascading scenario of particle production. The intermittency indices φq and the behavior of the function λq=(φq+1)/q indicate a possible non-thermal phase transition and two different regimes of multiparticle production.
