The leading effect explains the charged-particle multiplicity distributions observed at the cern pp collider

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

The assumption that the leading effect, and the charged-particle multiplicity distributions, measured at the ISR, scale with energy, and that the mean charged multiplicity, measured at the ISR, can be extrapolated up to Collider energy using the leading subtraction method, allows a prediction of the charged multiplicity distribution at the CERN pp Collider. This prediction is found to be in excellent agreement with the experimental data obtained at the Collider by the UA5 group.
