description

Two-particle inclusive correlations are studied by means of the two-particle rapidity correlation function. The data for the analysis come from an exposure of emulsion plates to a 400 GeV proton beam at FNAL. Predominant short-range correlations among shower particles are found, but this does not allow to exclude some long-range correlation behaviour, in agreement with the results obtained in lower-energy experiments.
