Abstract: We consider a system of finite number of particles collectively interacting with a single-mode coherent field inside a cavity. Depending on the strength of the initial field compared to the number of atoms, we consider three regimes of weak-, intermediate-, and strong-field interaction. The dynamics of multiparticle entanglement detected by quantum Fisher information and spin squeezing are studied in each regime. It is seen that in the weak- field regime, spin squeezing and quantum Fisher information coincide. However, by increasing the initial field population toward the strong-field regime, quantum Fisher information is more effective in detecting entanglement compared to spin squeezing. In addition, in the two-atom system, we also study concurrence. In this case, the quantum Fisher information as a function of time is in good agreement with concurrence in predicting entanglement peaks.
