Özet

KNO scaling was put forward by Koba, Nielsen, and Olesen (KNO) in 1972. Although it is an important tool for explaining multiplicity distributions and formulated for the asymptotic energies, it has been applied at a finite energy range where its formulation is not self-consistent. A consistent generalization, known as KNO-G scaling, was done by Golokhvastov in 1977 to make it self-consistent. Then, KNO-G scaling has been successfully applied in many experiments and its validity has been reported. In this study, KNO-G scaling is tested in neutrino interactions. The charged hadron multiplicity of CHORUS, OPERA, NOMAD and DONUT, which are neutrino experiments, is compared and tested the KNO-G scaling. It is observed that neutrino data are consistent with KNO-G scaling. A fit is superimposed on the data sets and fit parameters are compared.
