Intrinsic multiplicity in hadron-hadron collisions and its impact-parameter dependence
Description
As an improvement on the geometrical description of multiparticle emission in hadron-hadron collisions, a concept of intrinsic multiplicity etao at fixed impact parameter is introduced. The observed large fluctuation in multiplicity distribution is attributed to (i) the large spread in the intrinsic multiplicity no, and (ii) the Poissonian fluctuation about etao for each b. The dependence of the intrinsic multiplicity on the impact-parameter is estimated for p-barp collisions at 540 GeV
