Semi-Inclusive Distributions in Statistical Models

Abstract

The semi-inclusive properties of the system of neutral and charged particles with net charge equal to zero are considered in the grand canonical, canonical and micro-canonical ensembles as well as in micro-canonical ensemble with scaling volume fluctuations. Distributions of neutral particle multiplicity and charged particle momentum are calculated as a function of the number of charged particles. Different statistical ensembles lead to qualitatively different dependencies. They are being compared with the corresponding experimental data on multi-hadron production in $p+p$ interactions at high energies.
