CORRELATIONS and FLUCTUATIONS '98

8th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP  ON MULTIPARTICLE PRODUCTION June 14-21, 1998. Mátraháza, Hungary

Pór, Bertalan: "Out of forest" (1905)

Very Preliminary and TENTATIVE TOPICS will include:

Shape of the correlation function at small Q (Gaussian vs power-law)

Higher-order Correlations and Fluctuations (C&F)

Higher-dimensional analysis for C&F

Bose-Einstein correlations, data vs models (including MC)

Bose-Einstein correlations for W-mass determination at LEP2

New features of multiplicity distributions

H_q moment oscillations, origin, complex zeros and unit circle

QCD, models and fluctuations in jets

Erraticity, hopefully with new experimental results

C&F at low x, possibly with connection to pomeron

Comparison among C&F in e+e- (mainly QCD), lh, hh, hA, AA (mainly BE)

C&F in phase transitions including QGP rehadronization and DCC formation

Note that this list will be updated from time to time as we get back more feedback from the participants about their most recent research interests.

INVITED REVIEW TALKS:

We plan to arrange one or two invited review talks on related topics in other fields. One of these talks will be on recent results in statistical physics entitled ``Chaotic Scattering, Symbolic Dynamics and Fractals" by T. Tél.
