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…
It is argued that a multicomponent structure of $e^+e^-$ and $p\bar p$ high energy collisions determines the shapes of multiplicity distributions and oscillations of $H_q$ moments. QCD and convoluted NBD are used for comparison with…

High moments of multiplicity distributions of conserved quantities are predicted to be sensitive to critical fluctuations. To understand the effect of the complicated non-critical physics backgrounds on the proposed observable, we have…
We postulate that non-perturbative QCD effects occurring during parton fragmentation can result in collective effects of a multi-parton system, reminiscent of those observed in high-energy hadronic or nuclear interactions with large…
In this short review paper, we discuss some of the recent advances in the field of parton fragmentation processes into hadrons as well as their possible modifications in QCD media. Hadron production data in e+e-, deep inelastic scattering…
Multiplicity distributions exhibit, after closer inspection, peculiarly enhanced void probability and oscillatory behavior of the modified combinants. We discuss the possible sources of these oscillations and their impact on our…
Multiplicity fluctuations are studied both globaly (in terms of high-order moments) and locally (in terms of small phase-space intervals). The ratio of cumulant factorial to factorial moments of the charged-particle multiplicity…

The search for remnants of the QCD chiral critical point is a central objective of current and future high-energy ion collision experiments. Previous studies suggest that a scaling law relating higher-order factorial moments of hadron…

The relation between parton and hadron multiplicity distributions is discussed. To obtain parton multiplicity distribution we propose decomposition of the multiplicity distributions of final state hadrons. Such procedure offers hope for…
