abstract
The application of information theory approach (both in its extensive and nonextensive versions) to high energy multiparticle processes is discussed and confronted with experimental data on e+e- annihilation processes, pp and \bar{p}p scatterings and heavy ion collisions.

Charged particle multiplicity distributions derived from the Principle of Maximal Entropy
The paper claims charged particle multiplicity distributions follow from maximizing Shannon entropy with a fixed mean, yielding exponential tails and, after Poisson-Gamma mixing, the negative binomial distribution.
