Abstract
Using the information theory approach, in both its extensive and nonextensive versions, we estimate the inelasticity parameter K of hadronic reactions together with its distribution and energy dependence from and pp data. We find that the inelasticity remains essentially constant in energy except for a variation around as was originally expected.
