Abstract
Mechanisms for particle production at intermediate pT in nuclear collisions at RHIC are discussed, emphasizing the differences in associated jet-like correlations between colour-neutral and coloured production. An alternative production mechanism involving both recombination and fragmentation is suggested, which might simultaneously lead to an enhancement of baryons and to jet-like correlations. To gain more insight into the relative importance of different mechanisms a study of constrained distributions of associated multiplicity is proposed. In a simple model it is shown that these multiplicity distributions may change significantly, if the nature of the production mechanism fluctuates from event to event.
