Description
I show that the charged particle multiplicity distribution in proton-proton (p+p) collisions, which is often parameterized by the negative binomial distribution, results from the multiplicity distribution measured in electron-positron collisions, once the fluctuating energy carried by two leading protons in p+p is taken into account. It is suggestive of a universal mechanism of particle production in both systems, controlled mainly by the actual energy deposited into particle creation. Its consequences for p+A and A+A physics will be discussed.
