The multiplicity distributions of charged shower particles in high energy reactions are studied in the framework of a statistical model based on the approximation of the phase space integral. The model is first applied to the proton‐proton collisions and then further extended on geometrical basis to include proton‐nucleus and nucleus‐nucleus collisions. Although the model is parameter free, it gives quite satisfactory results in comparison with experimental data.
