Abstract
Cross sections for various configurations of inelastic α-α collisions at the quark level are calculated by using the standard multiple scattering formula at the nucleon level with the quark additivity approximation for nucleon-nucleon collisions. The result is used to calculate the multiplicity distribution of charged hadrons within the framework of the collective quark tube model (CQTM) i.e., a quark-version of the collective tube model. The calculated distribution is in good agreement with the recent experimental result obtained at CERN ISR. The effect of the collectivity characteristic of CQTM is, howeber, negligibly small in the α-α case.Keywords
