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
Study of energy and system size fluctuations of identified hadrons is one of the key goals of NA61/SHINE at the CERN SPS. Results may allow to discover the critical point (CP) of strongly interacting matter as well as to uncover properties of the onset of deconfinement (OD). But fluctuations exhibit numerous other sources starting from most basic ones like volume effects and conservation laws. NA49 seems to observe fluctuations related to CP in collisions of medium size nuclei at top SPS energy. However, this result will remain inconclusive until systematic data on energy and system size dependence will be available. Moreover, fluctuations in p+p as well as in Pb+Pb interactions should be better understood. In this contribution results on multiplicity fluctuations of identified hadrons in p+p interactions at the CERN SPS energies will be presented. The NA61 data will be compared with the corresponding results from central Pb+Pb collisions of NA49 in the common acceptance region of both experiments. Moreover, predictions of models (EPOS, UrQMD and HSD) for both reactions will be tested.

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.
