We derive the two-particle fluctuation correlator in a thermal gas of π-mesons to the lowest order in an interaction due to a resonance exchange. A dia-grammatic technique is used. We discuss how this result can be applied to event-by-event fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions, in particular, to search for the critical point of QCD. As a practical example, we determine the shape of the rapidity...

We describe particle production in the framework of an independent string model : the dual parton model. We show that an improved version of this model, containing a diquark breaking component, allows to describe the bulk of particle production and, in particular, baryon stopping and most of the observed enhancement of strange baryons. Only for very rare processes, such as Ω or J/ψ production, ...
