Summary:The effect of intermittent multihadronic states in p p collisions is studied within a two-component model. The origin of these states lies in the process of a phase transition in the Feynman-Wilson fluid and their production threshold is argued to appear at CERN collider energies. The shadow of these multiparticle states generates a new, non-conventional diffractive component which may give, in the vicinity of this new threshold, a significant, local contribution to the forward elastic amplitude (UA4 experiment). The size of this component is restricted by the measurement of the factorial moments in the same energy region (UA1 experiment).
