Scaling in multiplicity distributions in hadron-hadron interactions at 2-1000 GeV/N

Abstract

We present the measurement of charged-particle multiplicity distributions produced by 200, 300, 400, and 1000 GeV/c proton, 200 and 16 GeV/c pion, and 1.85 GeV/nucleon argon in nuclear emulsions. We find that the secondary particles produced in $p-p$ and ($p$,$\pi$,Ar)-emulsion collisions satisfy Koba, Nielsen, and Olesen scaling.
