Abstract
An interpretation of
scale-invariant multiplicity fluctuations inside
hadronic jets is presented. It
is based on the branching mechanism
with the angular ordering of
soft partons in sequential branchings.
A relationship with fractal distributions
is demonstrated.
The model takes into account the
finiteness of the number of particles
produced in jets (finite energy)
and leads to a good description of the
multifractal fluctuations
observed in
processes.
