Sub-Poissonian multiplicity distributions in jets produced in hadron collisions

In this work we show that the proper analysis and interpretation of the experimental data on the multiplicity distributions of charged particles produced in jets measured in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC indicates their sub-Poissonian nature. We also show how, by using the recurrence relations and combinants of these distributions, one can obtain new and otherwise unavailable information contained in them, which may broaden our knowledge of the particle production mechanism.

In this work, we demonstrate that the multiplicity distributions of charged particles produced in jets measured in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC are sub-Poissonian. We also show that by analyzing these distributions using recurrence relations and combinants, we can obtain new and otherwise unavailable information, which can enhance our understanding of the particle production mechanism.
