We study the modification of the multiplicity distributions in MLLA due to the presence of a QCD medium. The medium is introduced though a multiplicative constant ($f_{med}$) in the soft infrared parts of the kernels of QCD evolution equations. Using the asymptotic ansatz for quark and gluons mean multiplicities $<n_G>=e^{gamma y}$ and $<n_Q>=r^{-1}e^{gamma y}$ respectively, we study two cases: fixed $gamma$ as previously considered in the literature, and fixed $alpha_s$. We find opposite behaviors of the dispersion of the multiplicity distributions with increasing $f_{med}$ in both cases. For fixed $gamma$ the dispersion decreases, while for fixed $alpha_s$ it increases.

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.
Multiplicity distributions, P(N), provide valuable information on the mechanism of the production process. We argue that the observed P(N) contain more information (located in the small N region) than expected and used so far. We demonstrate that it can be retrieved by analysing specific combinations of the experimentally measured values of P(N) which we call {it modified combinants, Cj, and which show distinct oscillatory behavior, not observed in the usual phenomenological forms of the P(N) used to fit data. We discuss the possible sources of these oscillations and their impact on our understanding of the multiparticle production mechanism.
The evaluation of the number of ways we can distribute energy among a collection of particles in a system is important in many branches of modern science. In particular, in multiparticle production processes the measurements of particle yields and kinematic distributions are essential for characterizing their global properties and to develop an understanding of the mechanism for particle production. We demonstrate that energy distributions are connected with multiplicity distributions by their generating functions.
The dependence of the inelasticity in terms of the center of mass energy is studied in the eikonal formalism, which provides connection between elastic and inelastic channels. Due to the absence of inelasticity experimental datasets, the present analysis is based on experimental information available on the full phase space multiplicity distribution covering a large range of energy, namely 30 $<$ $sqrt{s}$ $leq$ 1800 GeV. Our results indicate that the decrease of inelasticity is consequence of minijets production from semihard interactions arising from the scattering of gluons carrying only a very small fractions of the momenta from their parent protons. Alternative methods of estimating the inelasticity are discussed and predictions to the LHC energies are presented.
We report the beam energy (sqrt s_{NN} = 7.7 - 200 GeV) and collision centrality dependence of the mean (M), standard deviation (sigma), skewness (S), and kurtosis (kappa) of the net-proton multiplicity distributions in Au+Au collisions. The measurements are carried out by the STAR experiment at midrapidity (|y| < 0.5) and within the transverse momentum range 0.4 < pT < 0.8 GeV/c in the first phase of the Beam Energy Scan program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. These measurements are important for understanding the Quantum Chromodynamic (QCD) phase diagram. The products of the moments, Ssigma and kappasigma^{2}, are sensitive to the correlation length of the hot and dense medium created in the collisions and are related to the ratios of baryon number susceptibilities of corresponding orders. The products of moments are found to have values significantly below the Skellam expectation and close to expectations based on independent proton and anti-proton production. The measurements are compared to a transport model calculation to understand the effect of acceptance and baryon number conservation, and also to a hadron resonance gas model.
