The multistring fragmentation model and violation of KNO scaling

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The violation of Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling of the multiplicity distribution is studied in detail within the dual multistring fragmentation model. Comparison with recent data from the CERN-SPS proton-antiproton collider reveals a close agreement.
