Abstract
Semi-inclusive ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ multiplicity distributions for 2-14 charged prongs are obtained using a generating-function approach based on an expansion in terms of Mueller moments. The four-prong data require the explicit assumption of a two-component model. Under this assumption and the further assumption of no three-neutral-particle correlations, the total pion multiplicity is obtained. The total multiplicity shows peaking at even prongs, indicative of $G$-parity-conserving diffractive processes which dominate at lower multiplicities. The cross section for these processes is \ensuremath{\sim}4 mb.
