Abstract

Interactions among colour strings produced in high-energy soft hadronic collisions are introduced via a probabilistic picture, in which strings fuse as soon as they overlap in the transverse area available. The possibility of formation of new strings, which have more colour and fragment with higher average transverse momentum and heavy flavour content, is studied. The obtained hadronic amplitude satisfies the s-channel unitarity. Predictions of the model for the main observables are compared with the experimental data and the results obtained in the framework of independent string fragmentation.
