Multiplicity fluctuation in leptonic, hadronic and nuclear collisions at high energies have been found to exhibit intermittent behavior characteristic of fractal properties. The Workshop focuses on this very new and exciting development, and these proceedings contain the latest experimental and theoretical contributions to the subject.

The fractal structure of multiplicity fluctuations ("intermittency") in high energy multiparticle production is discussed with experimental results from fixed target and collider experiments on e+e-, p, hadronic and nuclear collisions. Theoretical investigations concern the selfsimilar dynamics of particle cascades and quark-gluon-plasma as well as the structure of particle correlations

This is a sequel to the review volume Quark–Gluon Plasma. There are 13 articles contributed by leading investigators in the field, covering a wide range of topics about the theoretical approach to the subject. These contributions are timely reviews of nearly all the actively pursued problems, written in a pedagogical style suitable for beginners as well as experienced researchers.

This volume presents the experimental and theoretical methods of studying soft interaction physics in high energy collisions. The topics include: dynamical and Bose–Einstein correlations, multiplicity fluctuation, soft photons, disoriented chiral condensate, self-similarity and self-affine behaviors, wavelet analysis, intermittency, chaos, and phase transition.
