Multiplicity of secondary particles depending on the number of π- meson collisions with nucleons of the carbon nucleus at 40 GeV/c

Multiplicities of charged secondary particles produced in inelastic scattering of π- mesons with ν protons of the carbon nucleus at 40 GeV/c are studied (ν = 1-5). It is shown that the dependence of mean multiplicities coincides within the experimental errors with the dependence of in π-p interactions on the primary pion energy in the 40-200 GeV range. In multinucleon interactions the KNO scaling and Wroblewski dependence are valid
