A new scheme for calculation of the multiplicity distributions in hadronic interactions

We generalize an existing geometrical approach for multiparticle production in hadronic interactions, in which the overall multiplicity distribution is given by summing contributions coming from each impact parameter b of the incident hadronic system. In the previous work, the process occurring at a fixed impact parameter b was interpreted as due to an elementary collision with formation of an object similar to the one in e- e+ annihilations. Here, we extend the model allowing the possibility of formation of more than just one string. The output seems to be more consistent with data.

Hadronic multiplicity distribution; Eikonal approximation; pp and pp collisions
