We present data on long-range multiplicity correlations in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions at the top RHIC energy ($sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV) from the STAR experiment. The data shows a long-range multiplicity correlation extending across a gap of 1.6 units in pseudorapidity. The data is over predicted by a multiparticle production model with hadronization of independent strings, or fusion of two color strings. This can be interpreted in terms of additional dynamical reduction in the number of particle sources.
