Abstract
It is shown that a constituent picture of hadrons, with no other fundamental assumption than that only one constituent in each hadron interacts with one constituent in the other hadron, explains several features of particle production in high-energy collisions. We obtain KNO scaling of the particle multiplicity, a neutral for multiplicity for fixed charged multiplicity which is independent of the energy, and a rapidity distribution of the central fireball which depends on n/〈 n〉 only. Numerical applications show that the quark momentum distribution which reproduces the experimental data in strong interactions is very similar to the valence quark momentum distribution derived from deep inelastic scattering experiments.
