We study the multiplicity distribution measured in pp collisions at the LHC using a distribution which is derived from the Giovannini equations under the assumption that the evolution parameter is energy dependent. We obtain a negative binomial distribution with explicit energy dependence and fit it to three data sets, corresponding to different pseudorapidity and transverse momentum cuts, and also verify the applicability of the model for a fourth data set, corresponding to jets. We find a reasonable agreement with data for all sets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
