Abstract
The sensitivity of existing HERA data on the hadronic final state in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) to processes induced by QCD instantons is systematically investigated. The maximally allowed fraction of such processes in DIS is found to be on the percent level in the kinematic domain 0.0001 < x-Bjorken < 0.01 and 5 < Q squared < 100 GeV squared. The best limits are obtained from the multiplicity distribution.
