Title: Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling in string models

Abstract

In certain string models for pp scattering the multiplicity distribution P(n) is given as a superposition ..integral.. dm W(m)P(m,n) of contributions for a given string mass m. We demonstrate that Koba-Nielsen-Olesen (KNO) scaling follows as a consequence of a scaling property for the string-mass distribution W(m), thus relating the KNO scaling function psi to the quark structure functions, which determine W(m).
