Abstract
We present the first experimental study of the ratio of cumulant to fa ctorial moments of the charged-particle multiplicity distribution in h igh-energy particle interactions, using hadronic Z(0) decays collected by the SLD experiment at SLAG. We find that this ratio, as a function of the moment-rank q, decreases sharply to a negative minimum at q = 5, which is followed by quasi-oscillations. These features are insensi tive to experimental systematic effects and are in qualitative agreeme nt with expectations from next-to-next-to-leading-order perturbative Q CD.
