Summary
We propose a convolution model which yields the probability distribution of multiplicity in hadron-nucleus collisions as a result of convolution of the multiplicity distribution of hadron-nucleon collisions. It is predicted that as the collision number increases, these multiplicity distributions approach the same functional form.
