Description
We use fireball geometry and a statistical model to calculate charged particle associated multiplicity in relativistic heavy ion reactions. General expressions for multiplicity distributions based upon this model are derived. The constraints of charge and baryon number conservation are shown to lead to modified Poisson distributions. The expressions developed are applicable to all nonstrange particles and composites. Comparison is made with existing data
