Rm. Weiner et al., LIMITED GROWTH OF THE NUMBER OF SOURCES AND DECREASE OF INELASTICITY IN HIGH-ENERGY REACTIONS, Physical review. D. Particles and fields, 45(7), 1992, pp. 2308-2311
The limited growth of the number of sources <C> found some time ago fr
om the analysis of multiparticle distributions is explained in terms o
f the interacting gluon model. It turns out to be closely related to a
nother characteristic property of strong interactions, namely the decr
ease with energy of the inelasticity <K> and is due to the specific en
ergy dependence of the gluon-gluon cross section and the form of the g
luonic structure functions.
