Structures in Multiplicity Distributions and Oscillations of Moments

Abstract

The possibility to relate multiplicity distributions and their moments, as measured in the hadronic final state in e(+)e(-) annihilation, to features of the initial partonic state is analyzed from a theoretical and phenomenological point of view. Recent developments on the subject are discussed.
