- Description
- On Using the Poisson distribution truncated at zero for intermediate cluster decay in a compound Poisson process we obtain TCP distribution which describes quite well the multiplicity distributions in hadronic collisions. A comparison is made between TCP and NB (negative binomial) for UA5 data. The marked features of TCP curves at higher energies are that they are narrower than NB at high multiplicity tail, look narrower at very high energy and develop shoulders and oscillations, not present in NB or other currently proposed distributions, which become increasingly pronounced.
