Summary
It is argued that the ratio of multiplicities in hadroninduced and in e+e− annihilation events is likely to be considerably less than the value 2 predicted by a simple parton picture which neglects correlations.
Riassunto
Si dimostra che il rapporto delle moteplicità in eventi di annichilazione e+e− ed in eventi indotti da adroni probabilmente è considerevolmente minore del valore 2 predetto da una semplice rappresentazione con partoni che trascuri le correlazioni.
Реэюме
Докаэывается, что отнощение множественностей в событиях, индуцированных адронами, и в процессах е+е−-аннигиляции, по-видимому, эначительно меньще величины 2, которая предскаэывается в простой партонной модели, где пренебрегается корреляциями.

There is some evidence from K−p scattering that the ratio of two-spray to one-spray multiplicities in close to one (although this could be due to a finite-energy reduction ofn h): it is found (C. Louedec, A. Borg, H. Abramovicz, R. Barloutaud, J. M. Lafaille, Y. Pons, C. Wohl, K. Paler, C. Comber, S. Tovey, B. Chaurand, B. Drevillon, J. Gago andR. Salmeron:Nuovo Cimento A,41, 166 (1977)) that the charged multiplicity in K−p → Λ +nπ (in which, when the Λ is produced backwards, the π’s all come from the same spray) is essentially equal to the charged multiplicity in K−p → K−n +nπ (in which the π’s can come from either spray).
