Intriguing properties of multiplicity distributions

Abstract

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 understanding of the multiparticle production mechanism. Theoretical understanding of both phenomena within the class of compound distributions is presented.
