Abstract

We study the regularities in the multiparticle production data obtained from different types of collisions indicating the universality of the hadroproduction process. The similarities of such bulk variables like the charged particle mean multiplicity and the pseudorapidity density at midrapidity measured in nucleus-nucleus, (anti)proton-proton and e+e- interactions are analysed according to the dissipating energy of participants and their types. This approach shows a good agreement with the measurements in a wide range of nuclear collision energies from AGS to RHIC. The predictions up to the LHC energies are made and compared to experimental extrapolations.
