It is shown that charged hadron multiplicity distributions in restricted (pseudo)rapidity intervals in e+e- annihilation and in e+p scattering at HERA are quite well described by the modified negative binomial distribution and its simple…
A mathematical formalism for the analysis of correlations in multi-source events such as $W^+W^-$ production in $e^+e^-$ annihilations is presented. Various measures used in experimental searches for inter-$W$ correlations are reviewed.
We evaluate the multiplicity of hadrons in the $e^+e^-$-annihilation at a given thrust $T$ in the modified leading-log approximation, including $O(\sqrt{\alpha_s})$ corrections. The calculation is done at a large value of $\tau =1-T$ by the…
After inserting the heavy quark mass dependence into QCD partonic evolution equations, we determine the mean charged hadron multiplicity of jets produced in high energy collisions. We thereby extend the so-called dead cone effect to the…

We discuss the production of two hadrons in e+e- annihilation within the framework of perturbative QCD. The cross section for this process is calculated to next-to-leading order accuracy with a selection of variables that allows the…
Superposition of jets of different flavors as well as superposition of jets of different topologies describe well observed structures (shoulder, H_q oscillations) in e+e- annihilation. The analysis of similar effects seen in experimental…
I review a few selected topics concerning heavy-quark fragmentation, taking particular care about bottom- and charm-quark production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation and the inclusion of non-perturbative corrections. In particular, I discuss recent…
Predictions of a thermodynamical model of hadron production for multiplicity distributions in $e^+e^-$ annihilations at LEP and PEP-PETRA centre of mass energies are shown. The production process is described as a two-step process in which…
The multiplicity distributions at high energy $e^+e^-$ annihilation are described well within the Two Stage Model in the region from 14 to 189 GeV. Energy dependence of parameters of this model gives the dynamic picture of the parton stage…
We study hadronization of the final state in a particle-antiparticle annihilation using a holographic gravity dual description of QCD. At the point of hadronization we match the events to a simple (Gaussian) energy distribution in the five…
The string+${}^3P_0$ model of spin-dependent hadronization is applied to the fragmentation of a string stretched between a quark and an antiquark with entangled spin states, assumed to be produced in the $e^+e^-$ annihilation process. The…
A thorough verification of the distinct differences in the properties of quark and gluon jets is considered as one of the most instructive tests of the basic ideas of QCD. In the real life experiments such a comparison appears to be quite a…
Recently, the moments of multiplicity distributions in e+e- annihilation and the ratios H_q (cumulant over factorial moments K_q/F_q) have been determined both for the hadronic final state and for jets at variable resolution. These ratios…
The hadronization effects induced by various colour connections of the four quark system in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation are briefly reviewed. A special colour connection of four heavy quark system without colour-separation favours the…
We perform a systematic comparison of the statistical model parametrization of hadron abundances measured in high energy pp, AA and e+e- collisions. The basic aim of the study is to test if the quality of the description depends on the…
The quark spin effects are introduced for the first time in the string fragmentation routine of the Pythia 8 Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of $e^+e^-$ annihilation to hadrons. To describe the spin effects the…

We apply Heavy Quark Effective Theory to the production of $0^-$ and $1^-$ $Q\bar{q}$ states in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation. We show that HQET implies that the electric quadrupole amplitudes vanish and we propose tests for this theory. We also…
The production of identified hadrons inside jets in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation allows for detailed studies of parton-to-hadron fragmentation functions in a clean environment. We compute hadron-in-jets production cross sections for $e^+e^- \to…
