Abstract
Starting from the recognized fact that oscillations of moments with rank and shoulder structure in the multiplicity distribution have the same origin in the full sample of events in e+e- annihilation, we push our investigation to the 2-jet sample level, and argue in favor of the use of the negative binomial multiplicity distribution as the building block of multiparticle production in e+e- annihilation events. It will be shown that this approach leads to definite predictions for the correlation structure, e.g., that correlations are flavour independent.
