We present the recent Balance Function (BF) results obtained by the NA49
collaboration for the pseudo-rapidity dependence of non-identified charged
particle correlations for two SPS energies. Experimental results indicate a
clear centrality dependence only in the mid-rapidity region. The results of an
energy dependence study of the BF throughout the whole SPS energy range will
also be discussed. In addition, the correlation of identified hadrons is
studied and presented for the first time. The study of hadron correlation has
also been extended in order to cope with the high multiplicity environment that
is expected to be seen at LHC. We will present the latest results from
simulations concerning the extension of these studies to the ALICE experiment.Comment: To appear in the proccedings of the "Quark Confinement and Hadron
