%0 Journal Article %T The flux-tube model of particle creation in nuclear collisions %A Benjamin Svetitsky %J Physics %D 1999 %I arXiv %X I review some of the history of the flux-tube model, concentrating on work done by the Los Alamos-Tel Aviv collaboration on particle creation and back-reaction in uniform fields and in the central rapidity region. I discuss the incorporation of more realistic geometry and structure of the flux tube via application of the dual superconductor model of confinement. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9907278v1
