Multiplicity distributions in rapidity intervals forp-p andp-nucleus interactions at 200 GeV

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

Multiplicity distributions of charged particles produced in proton-proton, proton-argon and proton-xenon inelastic collisions at 200 GeV/c in various rapidity intervals are presented. Nuclear target data are analysed separately for the forward and the backward hemispheres. Results of a similar analysis for only negative particles are shown. The data are well parametrized in terms of negative binomial distributions. However, such a parametrization fails in describing thep-nucleus multiplicity distributions of charged particles for large rapidity intervals comprising both hemispheres. Parameters characteristic for the clan model of Giovannini and Van Hove are also presented.
