Description

The multiplicity distributions of shower particles (ns) are measured in inclusive inelastic oxygen emulsion interactions. Scaling is observed in the normalized variable ns/ for 14.6, 60 and 200 A GeV. The dependence of on the charge flow in the forward direction (QZD) and the distribution of the number of participating projectile protons is examined. The normalized multiplicities as a function of QZD seem also to be independent of incident energies. A comparison with the Lund model Fritiof yields satisfactory agreement. (orig.)
