Abstract

A parametrisation of negative hadron and neutral strange particle production was developed which consistently describes presently available data from nucleon‐nucleon, nucleon‐nucleus and nucleus‐nucleus collisions at a beam energy of 200 Gev per nucleon. Average multiplicities of negative hadrons are found to be proportional to the number of wounded nucleons, average K0s multiplicities proportional to the number of wounded quarks, and average Λ and Λ̄ multiplicities proportional to the number of wounded quarks plus an additional contribution proportional to the number of interactions of secondary produced particles. Predictions for the shapes of rapidity and transverse momentum distributions are presented and discussed in some detail.
