String Interactions as a Source of Collective Behaviour

• The discovery of collective effects in small collision systems has spurred a renewed interest in hadronization models, and is also a source for collective effects all the way to large collision systems, where they are usually ascribed to the creation of a Quark–Gluon Plasma. In this topical mini-review, the microscopic model for string interactions, based on the Lund string hadronization model, developed with exactly this aim in mind is reviewed, and some prospects for the future are presented.
