NEGATIVE BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTIONS IN DIFFERENT PSEUDORAPIDITY WINDOWS IN 800 GEV PROTON-NUCLEON INTERACTIONS

Experimental results on multiplicity distributions for full phase space and in different pesudorapidity windows of charged secondary particles produced in proton-nucleon collisions at 800 GeV are presented and discussed. It is found that all these multiplicity distributions are well described by negative binomial distributions. We interpret our results on the basis of dan model. The bin size dependence of multiplicity distribution of charged secondary particles in proton-nucleon interactions is analysed in terms of multifractals. The values of generalised dimensions obtained from fitted distributions show a good agreement with those obtained from the data.
