This volume contains the proceedings of the workshop entitled "Particle Distributions in Hadronic and Nuclear Collisions," held on 11-13 June 1998 at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). This was the third in a series of annual meetings -- organized by the High Energy Physics Groups in the Physics Department at UIC -- devoted to topics in fundamental physics. It was a forum for the discussion of topics such as multiplicity distributions, quark-gluon plasma signatures, disoriented chiral condensates and other issues on the borderline between particle and heavy-ion physics. To that end,...
