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.
The data used for the fits are from CMS [35, 36] and ALICE [7, 16]

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.
