Abstract

A hypothesis of limiting fragmentation of the target and of the projectile in a high-energy lepton-hadron or hadron-hadron collision is defined. Arguments are given for the hypothesis. Comparisons with various models and concepts are made. Further speculations are made, including the absence of pionization processes in high-energy collisions and the dependence of multiplicity on the momentum transfer. Experiments are suggested.
