In all multiparticle processes the concept of sources directly emitting finally observed secondaries (mostly pions) plays crucial role. Here we shall present them from yet another point of view in which elementary sources composing all processes (from e+e- annihilation, via pp up to AA interactions) remain both totally chaotic and Poissonian at the same time.

We discuss two examples of oscillations apparently hidden in some experimental results for high energy multiparticle production processes: (i) - the log-periodic oscillatory pattern decorating the power-like Tsallis distributions of transverse momenta, (ii) - the oscillations of the modified combinants obtained from the measured multiplicity distributions. We show that in both cases these phenomena can provide new insight into the dynamics of these processes.
Multiparticle production processes provide valuable information about the mechanism of the conversion of the initial energy of projectiles into a number of secondaries by measuring their multiplicity distributions and their distributions in phase space. They therefore serve as a reference point for more involved measurements. Distributions in phase space are usually investigated using the statistical approach, very successful in general but failing in cases of small colliding systems, small multiplicities, and at the edges of the allowed phase space, in which cases the underlying dynamical effects competing with the statistical distributions take over. We discuss an alternative approach, which applies to the whole phase space without detailed knowledge of dynamics. It is based on a modification of the usual statistics by generalizing it to a superstatistical form. We stress particularly the scaling and self-similar properties of such an approach manifesting themselves as the phenomena of the log-periodic oscillations and oscillations of temperature caused by sound waves in hadronic matter. Concerning the multiplicity distributions we discuss in detail the phenomenon of the oscillatory behaviour of the modified combinants apparently observed in experimental data.
We briefly summarise the main results presented at the IPPP Workshop on Multiparticle Production in QCD Jets, held in Durham in December 2001.
Theoretical and experimental studies of high multiplicity events are analyzed. Some interesting phenomena can be revealed at high multiplicities. Preliminary results of project Thermalization are reported.
As shown recently, one can obtain additional information from the measured charged particle multiplicity distributions, $P(N)$, by investigating the so-called modified combinants, $C_j$, extracted from them. This information is encoded in the observed specific oscillatory behaviour of $C_j$, which phenomenologically can be described only by some combinations of compound distributions based on the Binomial Distribution. So far this idea has been checked in $pp$ and $e^+e^-$ processes (where observed oscillations are spectacularly strong). In this paper, we continue observation of multiparticle production from the modified combinants perspective by investigating dependencies of the observed oscillatory patterns on type of colliding particles, their energies and the phase space where they are observed. We also offer some tentative explanations based on different types of compound distributions and stochastic branching processes.
