Summary
A mathematical framework is build up to investigate whether some degree of clusterization in the final stage of the multiproduction process is necessary to explain the backward-forward correlation of charged secondaries as found recently by the UA5 collaboration at CERN SPS collider. Fitting the experimental data is then concluded that, as previously pointed out, the final particles are essentially grouped in clusters of two. It is also concluded that a small amount of independent emission both in forward as well as in backward emisphere is probably present.
