Description

The one-dimensional model of intermittency is applied to particle density fluctuations in rapidity. Intermittency may explain the 'anomalous' events with large density of particles in small rapidity windows and the, approximately energy-independent, linear relation between the average maximum rapidity density and the multiplicity. The connection of 'host-spots' in rapidity with large transverse energy jets and the formation of the quark-gluon plasma is briefly discussed. (orig.)
