Forward-backward rapidity correlations in a two-step scenario
  We argue that two-step models, like String and Glasma models, with creation first of sources extended in rapidity that after locally decay into particles, lead to long range forward-backward correlations due to fluctuations in the number or the colour of the sources, and to a similar expression for the {\it F-B} correlation parameter $b$.   In the simplest String percolation scenario, $b$ increases with centrality or the number of participating nucleons. However, asymptotically it decreases with energy. This is different from the Glasma model where $b$ increases with both, centrality and energy.
