H-function extension of the NBD in the light of experimental data

Abstract

The recently introduced H-function extension of the Negative Binomial Distribution is investigated. The analytic form of P(n) is rederived by means of the Mellin transform. Applications of the HNBD are provided using experimental data for P(n) in e+e-, e+p, inelastic pp and non-diffractive p-pbar reactions.
