Abstract

We construct the hadronic multiplicity distribution in terms of an elementary distribution (at given impact parameter) and the inelastic overlap function characterized by the observed BEL (Blacker-Edgier-Larger) behaviour. With suitable parametrizations for the elementary quantities, based on some geometrical arguments and the most recent data on e+e- annihilation, an excellent description of pp and p(bar)p inelastic multiplicity distributions at the highest energies is obtained.
