Experimental results on the scaled multiplicity distribution of secondary particles produced in interactions of 800-GeV protons with emulsion nuclei are presented and discussed. The validity of Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling has been observed in interactions with nuclei. It has been found that the negative-binomial distribution describes well the scaled multiplicity distribution of secondary particles in proton-emulsion interactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
