Abstract / Description of output
We argue that as the atomic number of the target nucleus A ->
∞, the multiplicity of leading particles in hadron-nucleus
collisions tends to a finite limit. The limiting multiplicities for
various particle production are computed for both proton and pion
projectiles. Signatures at finite A are discussed. Data from 100 GeV/c
central hadron-nucleus collisions are analyzed and found to be in
qualitative agreement with this picture.
