The charged particle multiplicity distributions in e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>–</sup> annihilation processes in the LEP experiments

A review is presented of the results obtained in an investigation of the charged particle multiplicity distributions in e $^+$ e $^-$ annihilation processes in experiments on the LEP accelerator at CERN. Universality in the energy dependence for the average charged particle multiplicity in e $^+$ e $^-$ and p $\pm$ p collisions, the KNO scaling for the e $^+$ e $^-$ data, the structure in the multiplicity distribution and its relation to the number of jets in an event, the average particle multiplicities in quark and gluon jets, the pattern of ``clans'', and other questions are discussed.
