Abstract

Beginning with qualitative ideas on two-particle correlations and rapidity cluster decomposition, collective phenomena are studied. These phenomena are found to be important at large multiplicities as well as at high transverse momentum. The discussion is given in terms of an explicit mathematical model which is formulated in terms of coupled nonlinear equations. These equations, which are shown to have nontrivial solutions, give constraints between experimental observables based upon an assumed pairing structure of the S-matrix elements. These equations provide a mechanism for relating the enhancement of the large-PT cross sections to the low-multiplicity cross sections. Stronger predictions for PT correlations are found if a nonlinear bootstrap condition is imposed. Some consequences of this bootstrap are studied.
