Abstract
A parametrisation of negative hadron and neutral strange particle prod uction was developed which consistently describes presently available data from nucleon-nucleon, nucleon-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisi ons at a beam energy of 200 GeV per nucleon. Average multiplicities of negative hadrons are found to be proportional to the number of wounde d nucleons, average K-s(0) multiplicities proportional to the number o f wounded quarks, and average Lambda and <(Lambda)over bar> multiplici ties proportional to the number of wounded quarks plus an additional c ontribution proportional to the number of interactions of secondary pr oduced particles. Predictions are given for lead-lead collisions.
