V This page intentionally left blank PREFACE The 2002 International Workshop on Multiparticle Production, tenth in the series, was held in Crete, Greece from June 8 through June 15, 2002. It was hosted by the Department of Nuclear and Particle Physics of the University of Athens and its specific scientific topic was: “Correlations and Fluctuations in Quantum Chromodynamics”. The first meeting in the series was held in Aspen (1986) and subsequently, the workshops have been held in Jinan (1987), Perugia (1988), Santa Fe (1990), Ringberg (1991), Cracow (1993), Nijmegen (1996), Matrahaza (1998), Torino (2000) and now Crete (2002). According to the tradition, the Workshop in Crete was a meeting of a small number of researchers (approximately 50): experimentalists and theorists, gathered together with the aim to present their latest findings in the field of multiparticle production and discuss new ideas, measurements and methods in our effort to understand the complex structure of the QCD vacuum. New phenomena and novel theoretical developments, ranging from cri
