Approximate Scaling of Multiplicity Distributions as a Function of Missing Mass

Abstract

Data from $p+p\to p+X$ at 102, 205, and 405 GeV and from ${\pi }^{-}+p\to p+X$ at 205 GeV exhibit an approximate scaling property in the charged-prong multiplicity distributions as a function of the missing mass for the range $5<~M_X<~13$ GeV.
