Using a transverse momentum cutoff in kT factorization, the authors fix the soft and semihard mean multiplicities in a double negative binomial fit and find that KNO scaling holds only for narrow rapidity windows and that KNO violation is not caused by the rising semihard fraction.

abstract
The upcoming p+Pb run at the LHC will probe the nuclear gluon distribution at very small Bjorken x (from $x \sim 10^{-4}$ at mid-rapidity down to $x \sim 10^{-6}$ in the proton fragmentation region) and will allow to test approaches based on parton saturation. Here, we present the predictions of the KLN model for hadron multiplicities and multiplicity distributions in p+Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 4.4 TeV. We also compare the model to the existing pp, dA and AA data from RHIC and LHC.

Soft and semihard components of multiplicity distributions in the $k_T$ factorization approach
Using a transverse momentum cutoff in kT factorization, the authors fix the soft and semihard mean multiplicities in a double negative binomial fit and find that KNO scaling holds only for narrow rapidity windows and that KNO violation is not caused by the rising semihard fraction.
