Description

Results on charged multiplicity distributions in high energy proton-neutron interactions derived from pd data at 400 GeV are presented. These are compared with other available data on pn distributions at and above 100 GeV. The study reveals that the proton-neutron distribution at 400 GeV do not obey KNO scaling. It has been shown that the negative binomial distribution gives a fair description of the multiplicity distribution and that are the early onset of KNO scaling below 400 GeV is approximate.
