Abstract：
We attempt use a simple fireball model to explain the slow rise of the ratio R_A≡〈N_A〉/〈N_N〉 of the charged multiplicity for proton-nucleus scattering to that for proton-proton scattering verses the apparent nuclear thickness v. The pseudo-rapidity distribution dN_A/d_η is also discussed. In this model, the pi mesons are emitted by fireballs created during nucleon-nucleon scattering. When the incident energy E_lab Z 50 GeV/c², these fire-balls take so long a time to expend to thermal equilibrium that the fireballs have passed through the nucleus completely before pions are emitted. As a result, the charged multiplicity is greatly reduced.This model gives excellent fittings to pp charged mutiplicity, R_A verses v as well as R_emalsion verses E_lab without any free theoretical parameter. By choosing only one parameter for the equilibrium of angular momentum, dN_A/d_η can be fitted satisfactorily except for the large pseudo-rapidity region.
