Cumulants of QCD Multiplicity Distributions in Small Phase Space Bins

Abstract

It is shown that, as functions of their rank, cumulants of QCD multiplicity distributions in small phase space bins possess the quasi- oscillating behavior similar to that found for them in the total rapidity range. First minimum moves to lower ranks for smaller bins. For the total rapidity range, it moves to higher ranks with energy increase. The running property of the QCD coupling constant is in charge of these effects which can be verified in experiment.
