Both distri- 9 6 butions well describe the cumulant moments obtained from the data. This fact + − 3 shows sharp contrast to the result in e e collisions, which is described by the the 6 MNBD much better than by the NBD. 0 6 9 / 1 Introduction h p - p Recently a prediction is made by the QCD calculations that the cumulant moment of e multiplicity distribution possesses an oscillatorye behavior[1]. Furthermore, analysis of h + − : the cumulant moments in hadron-hadron hh and e e collisions shows that the j-th order v i normalized cumulant moment of observed charged multiplicity distributions oscillates X irregularly around the zero with increasing the rank j [2]. At present calculated results r a by the QCD explain the behavior of the data only qualitatively. It is well known that the cumulant moment of negative binomial distribution (NBD) calculated from the multiplicity generat
