Abstract
Using two methods, via fluctuations and correlations, an analytical fo rmula is derived for the factorial multiplicity moments in a QCD jet a t the Double Leading Logarithm accuracy. The resulting self-similar de pendence on the solid-angle cell size is characteristic of an intermit tency behaviour in angular variables. The intermittency indices depend on the diffusion angle through the running of alpha(s). Physical feat ures of jet fluctuations such as collimation at large angles and satur ation at small angles are well described in the perturbative framework . A parameter-free prediction of angular intermittency is proposed for Z0 decays into hadrons, assuming hadron-parton duality.
