Scaling violations in multiplicity distributions at 200 and 900 GeV

Description

New data are presented on charged particle multiplicity distributions for non single-diffractive events produced at CM energies √s=200 and 900 GeV. The data were obtained at the CERN antiproton-proton collider operated in a new pulsed mode. The multiplicity distributions are very well described by a negative binomial distribution. The highest energy data show no sign of approaching scaling, confiming our earlier results on the breaking of KNO scaling. The energy variation of the average charged multiplicity can be fitted to a quadratic in 1n s or a ssup(0.13) dependence. (orig.)
