Entropy content of multiplicity distributions

We argue that the entropy S is an important variable to consider for multiparticle productions. A prediction of the width parameter 1/k of multiplicity distributions can be made at superhigh energies by extrapolating the entropy variable S, considered as a function of the average multiplicity anti N. This is done explictly for the negative binomial distributions and the Furry-Yule distributions, though the method is applicable to other distributions. We also argue that direct extrapolation in the variable 1/k is not advisable. Further evidence for SSZ scaling is given, and a power law for the average multiplicity anti N as a function of the collision energy √s is derived. (orig.)
