Charged particle multiplicities at the CERN SPS Collider

Description

First results from UA5 on charged particle multiplicities from panti p interactions at √s = 540 GeV are presented. A value of 27.4 +- 2.0 is obtained for the mean charged multiplicity of produced hadrons. This excludes an ssup(1/4) behaviour of in going from ISR to Collider energies, but is not in disagreement with an extrapolation using a quadratic fit in ln s to previous lower energy data up to ISR energies.
