Abstract
The concepts of the formation zone and formation zone intranuclear cascade are discussed. The dual parton Monte Carlo model is modified by the leading order formation zone cascade. The properties of the resulting model are presented and discussed. It is found that especially rapidity or pseudorapidity distributions change strongly with the value of the formation zone parameter. A comparison with data leads to a phenomenological value of the formation zone parameter of τ0 c≈5 to 10 fm. This corresponds roughly to an average formation zone of 1 fm in the rest frame of the secondary produced.
