Title:	Cluster Model and the Charged Particle Multiplicity Correlations and Fluctuations at the RHIC Energies
Abstract:	In the study of nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC a new form of the strongly interacting nuclear matter was discovered. The phase transition to the hadronic matter may be reflected in modification of the processes in which finally observed particles are produced. The multiplicity fluctuations and correlations can be sensitive to such modifications. In the PHOBOS experiment two-particle and forward-backward correlations are measured using charged particles from a wide pseudorapidity range. These correlations can be described by a model assuming production of particles in clusters. The expectations from such a model are compared with the measured correlations. Properties of the clusters and the hadronic resonances as the source of clusters are discussed.
