Correlations and Fluctuations(an Introductory Review)

Abstract

Far too often are multiparticle final states studied and models tested on merely single-particle spectra and their integrals, the average multiplicities: A multiparticle final state is a non-linear, complex system and the essential information on the dynamics is contained in the particle correlations and their integrals measuring the fluctuations!
