Abstract
The ratio of cumulant to factorial moments is proposed as a new measure of multiplicity distributions. Its advantages and shortcomings are discussed using the negative binomial distribution and several QCD-inspired functions as examples. Its asymptotic at large rank reveals tiny features of high multiplicity tails of distributions which can become especially important at LHC and SSC.Keywords
