Truncated compound Poisson (TCP) alternative to multiplicity distribution in hadron-hadron collisions

  • 1. European Organization for Nuclear Research, Geneva (Switzerland)

Description

On using the Poisson distribution truncated at zero for cluster decay in a compound Poisson process, we obtain TCP distributions which describe quite well the hadronic multiplicity data in hadron-hadron collisions. A comparison is made between TCP and negative binomial distributions for UA5 data. (orig.)
