Abstract

We show that all available multiplicity distributions for νp, ν¯p,

μ^{+}

p, and

e^{+}

e^{-}

processes, both for central rapidity intervals and for the whole phase space, are well described by a two-parameter Poisson-type formula. This formula is obtained when small clusters (resonances) are randomly produced.
