Measurement of Charged-Hadron Multiplicities in Deep-Inelastic Electron-Proton Scattering

Abstract
We report measurements of the charged-hadron multiplicity for electrons scattered by protons at momentum transfers up to Q2=8 GeV2, and for s up to 14 GeV2. The multiplicity is consistent with a simple lns behavior, with little or no Q2 dependence above Q2=1.4 GeV2.
