Abstract: (Elsevier)
A simple physical mechanism is proposed to explain why multiplicity distributions in high energy collisions satisfy KNO scaling and why the scaling curves may differ from process to process. The mechanism is illustrated in detail when the KNO curves obey the gamma distributions. It is argued that deviation from KNO scaling at super high energies is a good signature for the occurence of new physical phenomena.
