Abstract

In this paper we found the multiplicity distribution of the produced gluons in deep inelastic scattering at large z=lnQs2/Q2≫1 where Qs is the saturation momentum and Q2 is the photon virtuality. It turns out that this distribution at large n>n¯ almost reproduces the KNO scaling behaviour with the average number of gluons n¯∝expz2/2κ, where κ=4.88 in the leading order of perturbative QCD. The KNO function Ψnn¯=exp-n/n¯. For n<n¯ we found that σn∝(z-2κln(n-1))/(n-1). Such small n determine the value of entropy of produced gluons SE=0.3z2/(2κ) at large z. The factor 0.3 stems from the non-perturbative corrections that provide the correct behaviour of the saturation momentum at large b.
