Abstract: (Elsevier)
Various theories of composite-particle formation are developed and compared. One theory is a nonequilibrium final-state interaction model, while another theory is based on equilibrium thermodynamics. A version of the equilibrium model is developed which is classical - analogous to the Rayleigh-Jeans limit of black-body radiation. Recent experiments suggest that the nonclassical equilibrium predictions are in better agreement with data than the results of the nonequilibrium picture or the classical thermodynamic view.
