Abstract
General properties of multiplicity fluctuation in high-energy nuclear collisions are considered. Quantities that can directly be related to the geometrical and dynamical sources of the fluctuation are identified. Formalism for treating impact-parameter selection is discussed. The connection with correlation is described. Recent data indicate the absence of any significant collective behavior in the current experiments at the SPS. The observable that can reveal the onset of such behavior is suggested.Keywords
