Abstract
In high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions (SPS, RHIC, LHC) and in cosmic ra ys interactions, many particles are produced in the available phase space. We make an attempt to apply the wavelets technique in order to classify suc h events according to the event pattern and also to locate the so-called "c lustering" in a distribution. After describing the method, we demonstrate i ts power (a) to a single event, produced by a pion condensation theoretical model, (b) to a sample of Pb-Pb simulated data at 158 GeV/c per nucleon ta king into account all the experimental uncertainties.
