Very High Multiplicity Hadron Processes

Abstract

The paper contains a description of a first attempt to understand the extremely inelastic high energy hadron collisions, when the multiplicity of produced hadrons considerably exceeds its mean value. Problems with existing model predictions are discussed. The real-time finite-temperature $S$-matrix theory is built to have a possibility to find model-free predictions. This allows to include the statistical effects into consideration and build the phenomenology. The questions to experiment are formulated at the very end of the paper.
