Abstract
We present a formulation of the correlation problem in the transverse plane of high-energy nuclear collisions. The correlation variable is t he azimuthal angle between two transverse momenta. We assume that the effects of quark-hadron phase transition are manifested in the existen ce of a coherence angle chi and a parameter epsilon characterizing the irreducible correlation. We then derive the consequences on the obser vable two-particle correlation function.
