Abstract
Color confinement constitutes for quarks and gluons something like an event horizon which they can never cross. Signals transmitted to the outside world from inside such a horizon cannot contain information and must thus be of thermal nature. In this chapter, we consider multihadron production in high energy collisions as the QCD counterpart of Hawking-Unruh radiation, encountered in black holes and for accelerated observers. This is shown to provide a common, “non-kinetic” origin for thermal multihadron production.
God does play dice, but He sometimes throws them where they can’t be seen. Stephen Hawking
