By d e f i n i t i o n of the event plane, IN is larger than oUT" The comparison of the Iow-o and high-energy data proves that t h i s bias is not able to explain the t a i l at IN in the 30 GeV data. In f a c t , models with a fragmentation symmetrically in azimuth are not able to describe t h i s t a i l consistently. This observation is very much in favor of the l a s t hypothesis. In f a c t , events s i t t i n g in the t a i l of the IN d i s t r i b u t i o n show a t h r e e - j e t signature. Fig.2.12 gives a " t y p i c a l " example. The planar events were analyzed as t h r e e - j e t events. The d i s t r i b u t i o n of the transverse momentum with respect to the axis was measured for each j e t and was compared to the inclusive p~ d i s t r i b u t i o n of two-jet events at ~ = values when treated as two-jet events have the canonical value of -0.3 GeV when analyzed as t h r e e - j e t events.

Secondly, there are two competing mechanisms governing the energy loss of a f a s t quark: hard bremsstrahlung and soft hadronization (although we shall see in Chap.5 that a s t r i c t d i s t i n c t i o n of the two mechanisms is not j u s t i f i e d ) . is plotted vs m,,. § ~ 0.33 GeV, and ~ 0(I fermi - I ) ~ 0(200 MeV) ~ Q2 2(Q2) is well accounted for by QCD predictions.

The range of parameters compatible with the data is given in Fig.5.14b. Data are f u l l y consistent with A ~ 0.5 GeV, as determined from IN scattering /108/, and with a constant nonperturbative transverse momentum of the order 300 MeV, as obtained for jets at lower energies. Similar conclusions are obtained by studying the "oblateness" of the distribution of transverse momentum vectors in jets /42/, or simply by counting the number of noncylindrical planar events (Fig.5.14c). + ~=O ---m=. quorks gluons = ~ can be explained in d i f f e r e n t ways:

production of p a r t i c l e s .
Besides exclusive j e t measures, information on a j e t - l i k e
structure of the f i n a l
state can be obtained from i n c l u s i v e spectra, and from c o r r e l a t i o n data. Figure 2.5 shows the mean momentum, p a r a l l e l (p,,) and transverse (p~) with respect to the j e t a x i s , found by maximizing the sum of the momentum components par a l l e l to t h i s " t h r u s t " axis. As expected f o r j e t s , the mean transverse momentum
is roughly independent of the j e t energy, and of the same order of magnitude as observed in hadron-hadron i n t e r a c t i o n s . The numerical values should be taken with some care, however, since they depend on the method used to define the j e t axis. In contrast to the mean transverse momentum, the mean l o n g i t u d i n a l momentum i n creases continuously with energy. Of course due to the selection of the j e t axis,
The difference between
which increases with energy, is a clear signature f o r j e t s .

With the exceptions of the threshold region x ~ O(m//s) and eventually except the very lowest energy, a l l spectra scale in x w i t h i n the accuracy of the measurements. For f u r t h e r studies and to enable a comparison with the j e t s observed in hadronhadron c o l l i s i o n s , i t is convenient to use quantities r e f e r r i n g to the j e t a x i s , l i k e the r a p i d i t y y = ( I / 2 ) I n [ ( E + p , , ) / ( E - p , , ) ] , or the transverse momentum p . These q u a n t i t i e s are, of course, somewhat sensitive to the way the j e t axis is defined, the influence being strongest f o r very slow ~ I~I ~ 0 (300 MeV)] and very fast (x§
particles.
Figure 2.8 shows the r a p i d i t y d i s t r i b u t i o n per event, ( I / ~ ) ( d ~ / d y ) as measured by the SLAC-LBL /22/ and TASSO /24/ detectors, with respect to the s p h e r i c i t y (SLAC-LBL) and t h r u s t axis (TASSO). For the SLAC-LBL data, a fast p a r t i c l e (x > 0.3) in one of the j e t s is required in order to allow a r e l i a b l e determination of a j e t axis already at energies as low as 5 GeV. The density shown is twice the density observed in the hemisphere opposite to the fast p a r t i c l e . As shown in / 2 2 / , t h i s method introduces nearly no bias.
I0 The r a p i d i t y d i s t r i b u t i o n s show the f o l l o w i n g features: - the length of the r a p i d i t y i n t e r v a l populated increases as In(s) -
-
at high energies, the r a p i d i t y d i s t r i b u t i o n develops a plateau around y = 0 the height of the plateau seems to increase s l i g h t l y with increasing cms energy. For comparison, the r a p i d i t y d i s t r i b u t i o n observed for mesons produced in proton-
proton i n t e r a c t i o n s at ~ = 31GeV /37/ is included in Fig.2.8. I t is in surp r i s i n g l y good agreement with the high-energy TASSO data, taking i n t o account that in proton-proton i n t e r a c t i o n s a sizeable f r a c t i o n of energy is carried o f f by leading nucleons, so that as f a r as meson production is concerned, the protonproton data at ~
= 31 GeV should be compared with e+e- a n n i h i l a t i o n s at ~ 1 5 - 2 0
Ge~. There are indications that the height of the plateau is s l i g h t l y larger f o r the e+e- data. Furthermore, the d i s t r i b u t i o n s seem to develop a hole at y = O. The second e f f e c t may be due to biases introduced by the d e f i n i t i o n of the j e t axis. Figure 2.9 shows the d i s t r i b u t i o n of transverse momenta at ~ ~ 13-17 and ~
~ 7 /22/,
~ 30 GeV /24/. As a reference, the p~ d i s t r i b u t i o n of pions
produced in proton-proton c o l l i s i o n at ~
~ 14-20 GeV is shown / 3 8 / . Taking into
account that at the lowest energy transverse momenta above I GeV/c are damped due to energy and momentum conservation, a l l data in the range v~s ~ 7 GeV to ~
~ 20
GeV agree. Again there is no severe difference between hadrons produced in protonproton and in e l e c t r o n - p o s i t i o n c o l l i s i o n s . However, the p~ d i s t r i b u t i o n at ~ 30 GeV develops a strong t a i l
towards higher p 's, s t a r t i n g at p~ ~ 0.5 GeV2.
There is no correspondent feature observed in proton-proton i n t e r a c t i o n s ; in the p~ range studied here the slope of the p~ d i s t r i b u t i o n is nearly independent of f o r v~s > 15 GeV. We shall return to these phenomena in Sect.2.3. The dependence of the mean transverse momentum on x,, is shown in Fig.2.10 for two energies. Note that the shape of t h i s curve is sensitive to the way the j e t axis is defined, systematic changes at low and high x,, may be as large as 20%-30%. Like the corresponding proton-proton data, the d i s t r i b u t i o n s show a pronounced seagull e f f e c t at x,, ~ O.

Scaling V i o l a t i o n s at High Energies
In Sect.2.2 we found that in the energy range 5 < ~

~ 30 GeV, however, the p~ d i s t r i -

a dynamical o r i g i n (Fig.2.9). In the following we shall investigate t h i s e f f e c t in more d e t a i l . For the discussion, we w i l l mainly use results from TASSO /24/; simil a r results have been reported from the PLUTO /41/, MARK-J /42/ and JADE /43/ collaborations. The widening of the p~ d i s t r i b u t i o n can have the following origins: the production of a new quark f l a v o r ; the p~ d i s t r i b u t i o n for quark fragmentation is energy dependent, the average p~ grows as s increases; as in hadron-hadron interactions /6-11/, single hard scattering processes dominate the cross section at large p~ and s. Candidates for such processes are, e . g . , the emission of hard gluon bremsstrahlung under large angles by the primary quark /44,45/ or the production of meson resonances with large transverse momenta by constituent interchange mechanisms /46/. The f i r s t p o s s i b i l i t y can be immediately ruled out by other data /24/. The other two p o s s i b i l i t i e s can be discriminated by examining the phase space structure of the events: an increase of the fragmentation-p~ with energy s t i l l
yields p a r t i c l e
d i s t r i b u t i o n s which are symmetric in azimuth with respect to the j e t axis. Hard parton processes produce a t h i r d j e t , e i t h e r by gluon fragmentation in quark-gluon models or by the decay of the excited meson in the ClM model /46/. In most cases t h i s j e t w i l l be more or less aligned with one of the i n i t i a l
j e t s , and the cross
section of the cylinder w i l l be deformed into an e l l i p s o i d ; sometimes, a planar t h r e e - j e t structure w i l l be recognizable. In search for planar events, the TASSO collaboration assigned an event plane in such a way as to minimize the sum of the momentum components squared out of this plane /47/. Obviously, the j e t axis as defined via the minimum sphericity is contained in that plane. Figure 2.11 shows the mean transverse momentum squared in the event plane,
12 GeV (Fig.2.13).

Does the hypothesis of a hard-bremsstrahlung process explain the sudden onset of the e f f e c t when going from s = 17 to s ~ 30? The p r o b a b i l i t y f o r emission of a hard f i e l d quantum is given by /48/ w ~ const. -~S - In(s/N 2)
(2.7)
where a s is the strong coupling constant and N is a cut o f f parameter of the order I GeV. Rather slowly does w vary with energy. Two f u r t h e r circumstances are relevant however. F i r s t , a t h i r d j e t emitted at large angles can be recognized as soon as the mean l o n g i t u d i n a l momentum of fragments is larger than
Their r e l a t i v e importance de-

From (2.8) and (2.9) follows that the r e l a t i v e importance of hard processes increases proportional to s. This explains the fast t r a n s i t i o n from the hadronisationdominated regime to the region where hard i n t e r a c t i o n s are obvious. A unique i d e n t i f i c a t i o n of the hard process as gluon bremsstrahlung is d i f f i c u l t at the present q u a l i t y of data; however, the main features of the data are cons i s t e n t with t h i s i n t e r p r e t a t i o n /49,50/.

3. Jets in Longitudinal Phase Space Models
As we have seen in the last chapter, the physics of jets at small energies, up to v~s ~ 10-20 GeV, is dominated by phase space effects due to the nonzero transverse momenta and particle masses. To arrive at a quantitative description of the l i m i tations imposed by pure four-momentum conservation and to separate j e t dynamics from kinematics, i t is useful f i r s t to study a simple phase space model for j e t production. This section is organized as follows. We shall present the uncorrelated j e t model for e+e" annihilations, discuss the physical meaning of the parameters involved, and give the asymptotic behavior of the model. Next, scaling variables and the approach to the scaling l i m i t w i l l be discussed. In the remainder of the chapter, possible generalizations of the model are presented, e.g., the inclusion of resonance production and the use of more sophisticated matrix elements.
3.1
The Uncorrelated Jet Model (UJM)
In the UJM the f u l l y exclusive decay probability of a virtual photon of the four momentum Q = (~s-,0) into N particles is assumed to factorize as /51,52/
i:I Ti
f(p~'pi)
64(Zpi_Q)
(3. I)
neglecting spins and photon polarization. The four momentum of the i th secondary is Pi = (Ei'-Pi)' which for simplicity w i l l be assumed to be a chargeless pion. To arrive at final state jets, the invariant momentum space element d3_pi/Ei /53/ is weighted with a matrix element f depending on the longitudinal and transverse momenta with respect to the j e t axis defined by a unit vector p,, : ~-~; p : l~x~l
(3.2)
16 The ~-function in (3.1) accounts for energy-momentum conservation. As the n - p a r t i c l e matrix element factorizes into n independent p r o b a b i l i t i e s , the model contains no dynamical correlations. In the following we shall adopt the simplest choice for f , generating a transverse-momentum cutoff f(p,,,p~) ~ exp(-~p~)
(3.3)
Such models have been discussed by many authors; we shall follow the presentation of /54/.
In terms of the momentum space volume (the grand p a r t i t i o n function) N

the inclusive s i n g l e - p a r t i c l e spectrum in the photon rest frame, normalized to the t o t a l cross section o, is given by (E/o)(d3o/dp 3) = Kexp(-kp~)~(~,Q-p)/~(~,Q)
(3.5)
with the t r i v a l sum rules (x R = 2E/V~)

The physical significance of the parameters K and ~ is evident: ~-I determines the transverse j e t width and K characterizes the m u l t i p l i c i t y d i s t r i b u t i o n , an increase in K giving a higher weight to larger p a r t i c l e numbers. Asymptotically, one obtains

More sophisticated UJM-matrix elements have been analyzed in /55/, with a rather astonishing result. In the high-energy scaling l i m i t the most general form of f is f(p,,,p~,S) : f(x,p~)

In general, g(x) is a rather f l a t function of x, even i f f,,(x) has a large variation in x. Physically this is due to the fact that i f we t r y to change the inclusive dist r i b u t i o n by changing f,,(x), l e t ' s say give i t a sharper decrease in x, we give less
18 freedom to the longitudinal momentum of the measured p a r t i c l e . But large momenta of the other p a r t i c l e s are suppressed as well so that the damping due to the four-momentum conservation w i l l be less and so w i l l compensate for the change in f,,(x). This is most d r a s t i c a l l y shown by noting that g(x) is invariant under the transformation f,,(x) + exp(-mx) f,,(x); especially we have
(3.16)
g(x) = I i f f,,(x) = exp(-mx)
So, one sees that independent of f ( x , p ~ ) , ( I / o ) ( x d o / d x ) w i l l always be a function very s i m i l a r to m(1-x) m-1. Accordingly, the two p a r t i c l e d i s t r i b u t i o n s turn out to be

As expected, the asymptotic UJM has no long-range correlations between opposite rap i d i t y hemispheres. Furthermore, for any scaling matrix element, the inclusive r a p i d i t y d i s t r i b u t i o n is e s s e n t i a l l y given by / I d~a ~ ~ -

resulting in a r a p i d i t y plateau of length OEln(S)] with a shoulder width of roughly 2-3 units in y (Fig.3.1). One further feature of inclusive spectra in the UJM is worth noting. Equation (3.7) suggests a f a c t o r i z a t i o n of E d3o/dp 3 in terms of y and p . Due to the factor E in the i n v a r i a n t momentum space volume, t h i s does not hold i f one replaces y by other longitudinal variables as x or m,, = (m2+p~)I / 2 .

The Approach to Scaling
At typical SPEAR- or DORIS-energies, where the bulk of e+e- data was produced, masses and transverse momenta are not a priori negligible. The approach to scaling /54/ w i l l therefore be discussed in more detail. Obviously, the scaling l i m i t of do/dxR is reached latest for xR close to 0 and I. At x R ~ <m >/v~, scaling is violated because of threshold effects; in the v i c i nity of xR ~ I (for In -1[(S/4m2)(1-xR~ I )
the unobserved system has a low missing
mass ML (3.10) and hence ~(~,Q-p) (3.5) is not asymptotic. Qualitatively, scaling in do/dxR w i l l be approached from below at low xR and from above at high xR. To study the approach to scaling quantitatively, i t is more convenient to calculate ~(~,Q) by numerical integration /54,59,50/. The results for (I/a)(XRdO/dxR) are compared in Fig.3.3 for v?s = 3.0, 3.8, 4.9 and 20 GeV with the asymptotic l i m i t , using the "standard" choice o f parameters ~ ~ 6 GeV- I ,

Figure 3.4 shows the height of the r a p i d i t y plateau at y = 0 as a function of v~ /61/. At energies of /s = 3-10 GeV, the p a r t i c l e density is ~30% below the asympt o t i c value of ( 3 . 8 ) ; even at the highest energies available at present accelerators (ISR) the UJM predicts the plateau height not to be constant. Another nonasymptotic e f f e c t , namely the influence of the production of heavy p a r t i c l e s l i k e K or p, becomes evident i f one t r i e s to compare the UJM model with + -
data from e e
storage rings.
Of course, the UJM is not able to give a r e a l i s t i c description of the charge, spin or isospin structure of e+e - f i n a l states. However, with appropriate constants K and ~ i t should describe the gross features of i n c l u s i v e spectra averaged over p a r t i c l e types, quantum numbers, etc. In Fig.3.5a, the UJM prediction for ~ = 3 and = 6.2 GeV-I is shown together with i n c l u s i v e ~• spectra (s/6)(do/dx R) in e+e- ann i h i l a t i o n s at v~ = 4.46-4.90 GeV /36,62/. The UJM values have been evaluated f o r v~ = 4.8 GeV using numerical techniques. There is a strong disagreement between the predicted and the measured x R slope; furthermore, as we have seen in Chap.2, the high-x R pion cross sections scale over the whole DORIS/SPEAR and PETRA energy range, in contrast to the model, In p r i n c i p l e , the f i r s t
point could be cured simply by increasing ~ (3.8). This,
however, leads to m u l t i p l i c i t i e s
incompatible with experiments (3.9).

There is a more natural explanation possible. F i r s t , at V~ = 4.8 GeV charm production contributes a sizeable f r a c t i o n to the pion cross section below x = 0.2, /36/ which has to be subtracted. Second, in the UJM a l l p a r t i c l e s were assumed to be pions, whereas in practice, also kaons and protons are produced. At moderate v~, the rest masses of these p a r t i c l e s eat up a good f r a c t i o n of the available energy, r e s u l t i n g in a steeper decrease of pion spectra at high x. A better;(however not f u l l y l e g i t i m a t e ) way of comparison is to add up the pion (Fig.3.5a), kaon (Fig.3.5b), and proton spectra (Fig.3.5c).
I f one f u r t h e r notes that systematic uncertainties
between d i f f e r e n t experiments /35,36,62/ are of the order 2 at high x R, the agreement is quite impressive. The early scaling of the experimental pion x R spectra can thus be interpreted as a cancellation of two nonscaling effects: the production of "heavy" p a r t i c l e s and the nonasymptotic ~(~,Q).

The UJM and Short Range Correlations
The UJM discussed in the previous chapters describes the production of i d e n t i c a l p a r t i c l e s without any short range c o r r e l a t i o n . There i s , however, strong evidence from experiments studying p a r t i c l e production in hadronic i n t e r a c t i o n s /63/ that the f a c t o r i z a t i o n property of the t r a n s i t i o n matrix N
fN(~1,~2 . . . . . PN,S) = ~ f ( P i , S ) i=I
(3.19)
holds only in the l i m i t of large i n v a r i a n t masses (pi+Pj) 2 >> I GeV2 whereas low-mass p a r t i c l e systems show strong c o r r e l a t i o n s . Part of these correlations are explained by the c l u s t e r model / 6 4 / , which states that the p r i m a r i l y produced e n t i t i e s are not the f i n a l state p a r t i c l e s , but instead are excited states which in turn decay i s o t r o p i c a l l y i n t o stable p a r t i c l e s . The most natural way to enclose short range correlations in the UJM is to assume that the intermediate states, called c l u s t e r s , are emitted independently. In a second step, charge, energy and momentum conservation in the c l u s t e r decay provide low-mass c o r r e l a t i o n s . Experiments suggest that the bulk of pions is produced via intermediate vector mesons /65/. As an example, l e t us take the p meson as a representative " c l u s t e r " . Figure 3.7 shows UJM r e s u l t s f o r emission of p mesons decaying i n t o two pions compared to d i r e c t production in the scaling l i m i t S§
The p meson density is chosen
such as to give the same plateau height as f o r d i r e c t emission. Figure 3.7 demonstrates that the i n c l u s i o n of c l u s t e r decays does not a l t e r very much the basic UJM p r e d i c t i o n s , as f a r as i n c l u s i v e spectra are concerned. However, the introduction of the new ( c l u s t e r mass) scale f u r t h e r delays the approach to the scaling l i m i t /61,66/. A second source of correlations is related to the quantum nature of secondaries /67/. As f a r as the emission of i d e n t i c a l p a r t i c l e s is concerned, the i n v a r i a n t momentum space representation of the t r a n s i t i o n matrix (3.1) is not f u l l y adequate / 6 8 / , since these f i n a l state p a r t i c l e s obey Boltzmann s t a t i s t i c s .
In r e a l i t y , pion
production f o r example is governed by Bose-Einstein (BE) s t a t i s t i c s ,
leading to an
" a t t r a c t i o n " of l i k e - s i g n pions, since two pions " l i k e " to be in the same quantum state. The range in momentum space of t h i s type of dynamical c o r r e l a t i o n can be calculated by noting that two p a r t i c l e s are in the same quantum state i f

I(~I-E2)IR ~ 9 ~ I , or I~i-P2 [ ~ 200 MeV R is the uncertainty of the point of emission, or in other words, the radius of the p a r t i c l e source, which is expected to be of the order I fm ~ (200 MeV)- I . An a l t e r n a t i v e derivation of this result has been given by COCCONI /69/ and by KOPYLEV and PODGORETZKI /70/ using higher-order interference effects in analogy to optics. Such a correlation modifies the usual phase space weights in such a way as to favor events which have high p a r t i c l e numbers in identical states. At large rapid i t i e s or transverse momenta, this tendency is balanced by the f i n i t e amount of energy available; therefore, the enhancement of inclusive densities is strongest at low p~ and y /71/. Models of this type have been used to explain the s l i g h t rise in do/dy at y = 0 in the ISR energy range /72/. Nevertheless, one should keep in mind that conventional phase space models also predict a nonasymptotic behavior at those energies. Anyhow, these results should be taken q u a l i t a t i v e l y rather than q u a n t i t a t i v e l y . In r e a l i t y , a l o t of physically d i f f e r e n t particles are produced, which of course show no BE a t t r a c t i o n . Furthermore, the model assumes that a l l particles are produced in the same volume R4 in space-time because otherwise the particles could be labeled by t h e i r production coordinates (within the l i m i t s imposed by the uncertainty r e l a t i o n ) and hence were not i d e n t i c a l . We shall see l a t e r (Chap.4,5), that in quark j e t s , for example, a BE interference is nearly impossible because of this l a s t argument.

Summary
The uncorrelated j e t model for independent emission of particles enables us to study the main implications of four-momentum conservation in j e t production. The explicit addition of short-range correlations is possible via resonance or cluster production. Irrespective of details of the model, and nearly independent of the matrix elements involved, the asymptotic scaling l i m i t is f a i r l y well described by
XR do = 2~(1_XR)~-} The approach to scaling is rather slow, even at PETRA or ISR energies the scaling l i m i t is not f u l l y reached.
4. Jets and Parton Models
In the l a s t decade, the quark-parton model / I - 4 , 7 3 / has proven to be one of the most useful and i n t u i t i v e concepts in high-energy physics. In the quark-parton model, hadrons are composed of partons. The binding forces of partons are governed by time scales of the order T ~ I/m with m being a typical mass of a few hundred MeV. In a moving hadron, the time scale is d i l a t e d by the Lorentz factor y. Then we have two main classes of hadron interactions in the quark-parton model. I f the i n t e r a c t i o n time TI of hadrons is large compared to yT, a l l partons p a r t i c i p a t e coherently in the i n t e r a c t i o n . I f ~I is small compared to u
i n d i v i d u a l partons may
i n t e r a c t . In the asymptotic l i m i t T I § 0 the hadron seems to be composed of free, on-shell quarks. The consistency of the model requires the partons to carry f r a c t i o n a l charges, and a new quantum number, color /17,74,75/. Since no f r a c t i o n a l charged objects have been observed up to now, there must be a nonasymptotic mechanism confining partons to integer-charged states with the observed hadron quantum numbers. These states turn out to be color singlets. Meanwhile, i t became customary to turn these arguments upside down and to consider color confinement as the primary mechanism, and the nonexistence of f r a c t i o n a l l y charged p a r t i c l e s as a secondary consequence. Consider now a process where a large four momentum is transferred to one patton out of a color s i n g l e t system. Obviously, due to the large i n v a r i a n t mass of the parton f i n a l state, color cannot be confined to a single stable hadron anymore. One of the basic assumptions of the quark-parton model is that in such a case the confinement of color leads to a bunch of p a r t i c l e s moving e s s e n t i a l l y along the direction of the scattered parton and that t h i s process happens with the p r o b a b i l i t y I . In t h i s chapter, we shall discuss the dynamics of j e t formation in more d e t a i l , +

Jets from Quark Confinement
Confinement is most e a s i l y v i s u a l i z e d in terms of a QCD-supported bag model /76/. QCD - Quantum Chromodynamics - /17/ is the most promising candidate for a theory of strong i n t e r a c t i o n s . I t is a nonabelian gauge theory in which the interactions between colored quarks are mediated by 8 colored gauge bosons, the gluons. The 3 color charges are generators of an unbroken SU(3) c symmetry. QCD is an asymptotic a l l y free theory, i t s dimensionless coupling constant mS/~ tends to zero as the energy increases, allowing a perturbative expansion. At low energies, Q2 ~ 0 (I GeV2), the coupling constant diverges. This low energy behavior of QCD is hoped (but not yet proven) to explain confinement: recent f i e l d t h e o r e t i c a l i n v e s t i g a t i o n s i n d i cate that the QCD ground state is a n o n t r i v i a l two phase vacuum /77/. In the normal phase, outside hadrons, color f i e l d s cannot propagate. This e f f e c t is known as "chromodynamic Meissner e f f e c t " in analogy to the propagation of magnetic f i e l d s in a superconductor. There is f u r t h e r an abnormal phase which may contain quarks and gluons as quasi-free p a r t i c l e s . Since surface and volume energy is required to create the abnormal phase, the abnormal regions form l i t t l e
bubbles, or "bags"
w i t h i n the normal phase. The dynamics of quark and gluon f i e l d s inside a bag is governed l o c a l l y by the f i e l d equations of QCD. I t can be shown that such a bag, embedded in the physical vacuum, is stable in i t s time e v o l u t i o n ; the volume energy B (or vacuum pressure) and surface energy S are balanced by the pressure exerted by the gluon f i e l d s which are reflected at the phase boundary /76/. B and S can be arranged to give t y p i c a l bag sizes of I cubic fermi. Such a bag containing a quark and a antiquark or three quarks can be i d e n t i f i e d as a meson or as a baryon, resp e c t i v e l y . A c t u a l l y the spectrum of bag e x c i t a t i o n modes reproduces the observed

and the kinetic energy of the quark
is converted into surface and volume energy of the bag. When the bag reaches a c r i t i c a l length, i t is energetically more favorable to create a new quark-antiquark pair in between the i n i t i a l
quarks. These new quarks screen the i n i t i t a l
color
f i e l d s and the bag breaks up into two new, spherical bags, each containing one initial
and one new quark. One of these bags is a slowly moving ground state bag,
while the other, which contains the fast quark, starts to become c y l i n d r i c a l , repeating the process u n t i l the whole i n i t i a l energy is converted into a series of bags moving along the direction of the i n i t i a l momentum transfer. The transverse momentum with respect to the j e t axis of these bags is determined by the transverse bag size.
4.2
Space-Time Development of Quark Jets
The confinement mechanism proposed above, via successive polarization and de-excitation of the vacuum has been investigated already in 1962 by SCHWINGER/78/. He showed that in certain gauge theories of charged fermion f i e l d s , the only asympt o t i c a l l y stable particles are massive neutral bosons. In such theories, e l e c t r i c charge is a confined quantum number, in analogy to the (yet unproven) color confinement in QCD. This phenomenon occurs in two-dimensional (space-time) QED. I t may also happen in four-dimensional gauge theories i f the coupling constant exceeds a certain c r i t i c a l value /78/. Examples of f i e l d theories exhibiting the Schwinger phenomenon have been discussed by CASHER et al. /79/. In the following, we shall use two-dimensional QED /78,79/ to give a quantitative description of the process of j e t formation. Of course, we are aware of the two essential l i m i t a t i o n s of this picture, the use of only one space dimension and the absence of photon s e l f couplings in QED. On the other hand, i f we keep the a t t i t u d e of the QCD bag model discussed in the previous section, the nonabelian nature of QCD is mainly responsible for the chromodynamic Meissner effect which in turn reduces the problem to a one-dimensional one, the dynamics of a color string. We shall proceed as follows. F i r s t , j e t development is discussed using the formalism of two-dimensional QED. Next, we t r y to transform these results into an in-
28 t u i t i v e physical picture. F i n a l l y , a simple graph technique is presented, which further i l l u s t r a t e s the mechanisms of j e t development and enables quantitative predictions. I+I dimensional (space-time) QED is defined by the Lagrangian density

(4.2)
The equation of motion in the presence of external current sources is given by (~+m2)j~(x) = -m2j~xt(X)
(4.3)
Let us consider the simplest case, the production of a q-q pair by a v i r t u a l photon. The external currents in the photon rest system (which correspond to color currents in QCD) are defined by
Joext = g6(z-t)+g6(z+t) J l e x t =-gS(z-t)+g$(z+t)

(D+m2)@ = gm20(t+z)O(t-z)
(4.8)
The resulting dipole density is constant on hyperbolas in space-time, vanishing near the l i g h t cone and approaching a constant for distances Ix[ >m-I from the o r i gin. As the hyperbolas approach the l i g h t cone, the regions containing the polarization charge are confined to a length of the order (tm2) - I . The polarization charge combines with the outgoing charge to form a neutral boson as soon as t h e i r distance becomes of the order m-I in t h e i r common rest frame. In the cms frame this happens a f t e r a time t

(b) Spatial d i s t r i b u t i o n of the polarization density at d i f f e r e n t times ( O > t I > t 2 > t 3 ) . This is equivalent to the rapidity d i s t r i b u t i o n of the emitted particles. (c) Density of charge at d i f f e r e n t times. (The i n i t i a l quarks are represented by delta functions.)
How can we interpret these results? Particle production happens in the cloud of polarization charge, which is induced by the primary charge, i . e . , color sources. Particle creation starts at low r a p i d i t i e s .
As time goes on, the i n i t i a l
quark feeds
30 energy into accelerating the polarization cloud u n t i l the cloud overtakes the leading quark and neutralizes i t s charge. One should note that the motion of the polarization cloud proceeds through the creation of new quark pairs in front of the cloud and through the recombination of quark pairs into neutral bosons at t h e i r end; i t need not be a unique quark in the cloud which is accelerated. The process of charge confinement (or "quark fragmentation") turns out to be characterized by a rather long time scale (4.9). Furthermore, the cascade extends over large distances in space, as compared to typical p a r t i c l e sizes (Fig.4.2); the extension of the cascade is proportional to the quark energy. The maximum distance between the quark charge and the screening polarization charge, however, stays f i n i t e at a l l times (Fig.4.2c). There is one difference between QCD and QED model worth noting. In QED, the charge of the leading quark is constant during the whole process. In the nonabelian QCD, the colors of quark and polarization cloud change due to gluon exchange, the quark color being opposite to the cloud color in the average. The whole system -
quark, cloud, and gluons between them -
is a color singlet.
The p r o p o r t i o n a l i t y between quark momentum and confinement time is important since i t ensures that at high energies the outgoing fermions remain free s u f f i c i e n t l y long to j u s t i f y calculations based on the naive parton model. This model has f i r s t are produced f i r s t
been advocated by BJORKEN /80/. Since the slowest hadrons
in time, i t is known as an "inside-outside" cascade.
Of course i t is questionable to what extent d e t a i l s of the model should be taken seriously and whether i t can be generalized to four dimensions. I t has been shown that i f the Schwinger phenomenon occurs in the four-dimensional f i e l d theory, the model gives a r a p i d i t y plateau and an appropriate p~ cutoff /79/. The problem is~ however, to prove that the Schwinger mechanism works, e . g . , in QCD. Nevertheless, CASHER et al. /79/ succeeded to prove that the inside-outside evolution of the cascade is a feature common to a l l fragmentation models describing color confinement. Their argument is quite simple. Imagine a model where the cascades s t a r t at the two i n i t i a l
quarks (e.g., via a multiperipheral chain of low momentum transfers).
To neutralize t h e i r residual charges, the two cascades have to j o i n somewhere in themiddle. Since the fragmentation chain represents a random walk,in transverse momentum space and due to the long time scales involved, the p r o b a b i l i t y that the ends of the two cascades overlap in space-time goes to zero as Q2 goes to i n f i n i t y . Quarks of energies >> I GeV would not be confined in such a model. Recently, ANDERSSONet al. have presented a semiclassical model for quark-jet fragmentation /81/, which incorporates a l l features of the Schwinger model and gives a reasonable description of the j e t s observed in deep i n e l a s t i c lepton scattering
31 /83/. In their model, quarks are treated as classical particles, which move on well-defined trajectories in two-dimensional space-time. I t is easily seen that the classical treatment is j u s t i f i e d as far as longitudinal motions along the j e t axis are concerned /84,85/. The relative momentum smearing due to the uncertainty relation dy ~ dp ~ ~ . p - Rp '

(4.11)
is small i f fast quarks are considered, e . g . , r a p i d i t y and position in space of a quark are well defined simultaneously. Furthermore, one may speculate that i n t e r ference effects are suppressed since the various p a r t i c l e production points w i l l turn out to be well separated in space-time. The use of only one space dimension is based on the assumption of a "QCD-Meissner e f f e c t " ; more precisely i t means that no transverse degrees of freedom of the elongated quark bags ( " f l u x tubes") are excited /86/. Since there is only one space dimension, the force acting between two oppositely charged (or colored) partons is independent of t h e i r distance and is a t t r a c t i v e . In the zero-mass l i m i t , the world lines of the two valence quarks inside a meson are described by Fig.4.3a: The quarks sta;rt to separate, losing momentum at a rate dp/dt = •
(4.12)
After a certain time, the motion is reversed, the quarks move together, start to separate again and so on. Using the uncertainty relation to relate the mean quark separation and momentum, one obtains for the mass of the meson ground state /81/ m ~ gl~ 2 The constant g is related to the Regge slope m'via g = 2/m' /85/, or can be taken from linear potential charmonium models /82/, yielding meson masses of the order of a few hundred MeV. In a moving meson, the period of oscillation becomes timedilated (Fig.4.3b). In this model, j e t formation is visualized in diagrams like Fig.4.4. Two i n i t i a l quarks move in opposite directions. As soon as a certain energy is stored in the color f i e l d (shaded area), the f i e l d breaks up somewhere and produces a quark pair. The break up can be visualized as a classical tunneling effect /85/: somewhere in the color f l u x tube a virtual quark-antiquark pair is generated by a fluctuation.

This second term arises since the new quarks screen the external color f i e l d in between them. The pair is assumed to be created with zero net momentum since a system with negative t o t a l energy cannot propagate with real momentum components / 8 5 / .

As soon as kinematically allowed, new pairs are produced in the region between the i n i t i a l quark and a quark of the f i r s t pair, etc. Quarks and antiquarks produced at different points C and D in space-time may join to form a meson E. This is possible, i f at the time where quark and antiquark meet in space, the q~ invariant mass equals the meson mass, or equivalently
(Zc-ZD)2-(tc-tD)2 = m2(4--~)2 g
(4.15)
Equation 4.15 determines the minimum space-time distance of the production points of quarks appearing in f i n a l state mesons. As a consequence of (4.15), p a r t i c l e s are emitted from a hyperbola-like spacetime region as in the Schwinger model. Two remarks for the sake of completeness w i l l be made: In p r i n c i p l e i t is possible that a quark pair has a large invariant mass m >> I GeV. This would s p l i t the event into four separate jets. This processes w i l l be rare; i f the coupling constant is large enough, quark pairs are created and recombined as soon as possible. -
Figure 4.4, as well as (4.12-14) are s l i g h t l y oversimplified. Actually quarks are produced in three colors, only one of which screens the external color f i e l d . However, i t has been shown that the production of the "screening" color is favored and one may argue that the production of other colors leads to a configuration which f i n a l l y discharges the color f i e l d via baryon production /85/.
On the average, the slowest particles are produced f i r s t . There is, however, no s t r i c t mapping between the rapidity and the time of emission of a particle. Only the average production time increases with rapidity. Such statements on rapidities and times are not Lorentz invariant. Usually they w i l l be invalidated by a change of the reference frame. ANDERSSONet al. /81/ have investigated this point in detail. Their conclusion is that these statements are true in any reference frame, proving the self consistency of the model. Define now DbC(z) as the density of mesons with the valence quark flavor b~ in a the fragmentation region of quark a. z is the fractional momentum of the meson. Masses and transverse momenta are neglected for the moment. Averaging over a l l possible diagrams like Fig.4.4, the model yields a set of coupled integral equations for the D's

Equation 4.17 holds only for production of quarks with n e g l i g i b l e constituent masses and transverse momenta. The i n c l u s i o n of these effects changes the behavior of D(z) from D(z)+1 to D ( z ) § z§ z+l The reason is e a s i l y seen. For nonzero masses, quark and antiquark of a pair mater i a l i z e at a distance d ~ ET (4.13). However, a break up cannot happen with equal p r o b a b i l i t y anywhere along a f l u x tube. A minimum average distance d/2 between the center of a pair and the end of a f l u x tube is required, y i e l d i n g a reduced number of large-momentum secondaries. One must also keep in mind that the mesons described by (4.16,17) are not the observed stable hadrons. According to the spin weights, 3/4 of them are vector mesons decaying into a number of pions. This results in a smearing of the r a p i d i t y d i s t r i b u t i o n , i t f u r t h e r increases the height of the plateau.

An Algorithm f o r Simulation of Quark Jets
To provide a standard j e t model representing the state of the a r t , FEYNMANand FIELD /87/ have proposed a s i m i l a r j e t model based on parton phenomenology. The model uses a recursive generation p r i n c i p l e o r i g i n a l l y introduced by KRZYWICKI and PETERSSON /88/ and by FINKELSTEIN and PECCEI /89/. The j e t model is intended to serve as a reference for design and comparison of experiments. I t generates exclusive m u l t i p a r t i c l e f i n a l states including resonance production, transverse momenta and f i nite-energy effects. Furthermore, i t allows detailed predictions on two- and morep a r t i c l e correlations and on t h e i r quantum-number dependence. The main difference to the model discussed above is that the Feynman-Field (FF) model involves four free parameters adjusted to f i t
the data: I ) one a r b i t r a r y function u l t i m a t e l y de-
termines the momentum d i s t r i b u t i o n of the hadrons, 2) the degree that SU(3) is broken in the formation of new quark-antiquark pairs, 3) the spin of the primary mesons and 4) the mean transverse momentum given to t h i s mesons. In the o r i g i n a l version of the model / 8 7 / , the production of baryons and of heavy-quark f l a v o r s , l i k e charm or beauty is neglected. The ansatz is based on the idea that a quark of type "a" coming out at some momentum PO creates a color f i e l d in which new quark pairs are produced. Quark "a" then combines with an antiquark, say "6", from the new pair "bb" to form a meson "ab" leaving the remaining quark "b" to combine with a next quark "E" and so on. The primary meson "ab" may be d i r e c t l y observed as a
36
stable meson, or i t may be an unstable resonance which subsequently decays. A hierachy of primary mesons is formed in which "ab" is f i r s t
in rank, "b~" is second in
rank, "cd" is t h i r d in rank, etc, as shown in Fig.4.6 (here and in a l l f u r t h e r diagrams we have adopted the convention to plot antiquarks as quarks moving backwards along t h e i r world l i n e s ) . The chain decay ansatz assumes that i f the primary meson of rank I carries away a momentum ~ I ' the f u r t h e r cascade s t a r t s with a quark "b" with the momentum Pl = PO-~I and the remaining hadrons are d i s t r i b u t e d in the same way as i f they came from a j e t originated by a quark of type "b" with momentum PI' I t is assumed that the momenta are high enough, so that a l l d i s t r i b u t i o n s scale.

The transverse momentum of a primary meson is given by the vector sum of the transverse momenta of i t s quarks. To reproduce the observed mean transverse momentum of the f i n a l state pions, P+O ~ 350 MeV is required. The mean transverse momentum of primary mesons is of the order of 440 MeV. The recursive scheme of j e t generation is now evident: I)
choose the momentum f r a c t i o n of the rank I meson from (4.26)
II)
generate a quark pair according to (4.24,27). The rank I meson is made of the

I f there is s t i l l
enough energy l e f t over, repeat the procedure s t a r t i n g with

Regarding the recursive p r i n c i p l e , one is tempted to consider the Feynman-Field j e t as an " o u t s i d e - i n s i d e " cascade, where p a r t i c l e s of rank I are produced f i r s t
at high
y in the overall cmso The authors themselves considered t h i s point as one of the maj o r drawbacks of t h e i r model / 8 7 / . A comparison of the integral equations (4.19) with the equations describing the inside-outside cascade of ANDERSSONet a l . (4.16) however proves that both point of views lead to very s i m i l a r mathematical structures, the (4.16) being as well compatible with an inside-outside development of the j e t .
The recursive p r i n c i p l e proposed by Feynman and Field thus should not be
considered as a physical model, but merely as a mnemonic s i m p l i f y i n g the bookkeeping of momenta, quantum numbers, etc.
39
A second remark is more technical. The FF model describes the fragmentation of a single quark. Consequently, one single antiquark with i t s charge, color and (small) momentum has to be thrown away at the end of the cascade a f t e r n mesons have been produced. In r e a l i t y , these q u a n t i t i e s have to be neutralized by the corresponding ones in the opposite j e t . This unbalance of conserved quantities is not a s p e c i f i c f a i l u r e of the FF technique to generate j e t s , instead i t is a r e f l e c t i o n of the fact that i t is meaningless to t a l k about a single j e t . The only systems of physical relevance are color s i n g l e t s , l i k e q~ or qqq states. A d i v i s i o n of such systems into single jets is an approximation possible for fast p a r t i c l e s , i t is however completely meaningless and a r b i t r a r y for slow fragmentation products.
4.4
Properties of Quark Jets
In t h i s section we shall discuss the expected properties of quark j e t s , and compare them to the experiment. The FF model w i l l be used as the typical parton-jet reference. The j e t energy should be chosen such that mass effects are n e g l i g i b l e , on the other hand i t should be low enough so that the QCD corrections to be discussed in the next section w i l l not dominate. These conditions are f u l f i l l e d
in the lower
PETRA energy range. Consider the fragmentation of u,d, and s quarks (the decay of charmed quarks w i l l be discussed l a t e r ) . As "stable" f i n a l state p a r t i c l e s we have u,d,s

Parton models allow to reduce the number of independent D's d r a s t i c a l l y . E s s e n t i a l l y , there are two main fragmentation mechanisms, usually known as favored and unfavored fragmentation /90/. A fragmentation is favored i f the fragment contains the i n i t i a l quark. In the language of Feynman and Field i t may then be the ( f a s t ) meson of rank I. In the unfavored case, where the meson does not contain the i n i t i a l
quark, i t has
to be of rank 2 or higher, implying a smaller mean momentum. Since the f l a v o r of the quarks generated in the f i r s t
break up of the color f l u x tube should not depend on
the nature of the primary quark, a l l unfavored D's should be equal, except f o r a

Two points are worth noting. In contrast to phase space models (Chap.3), the FF model predicts a nonzero value of DU(z) at z§ even at asymptotic energies. On q the other hand D~ = D~ ++D~- is remarkable well f i t t e d by the UJM expression D(z) = (1-z)2/z qin a large q qz range 0 < z < 0.7. In e+e- a n n i h i l a t i o n s the fragmentation functions of u-, d- and s-quarks cannot be measured separately. Concerning t h i s topic we shall use data from deep i n e l a s t i c lepton nucleon interactions f o r comparison. To reduce contributions from quasie l a s t i c channels, cuts on the four-momentum transfer Q2 and on the i n v a r i a n t mass W of the hadronic system have been applied, t y p i c a l l y Q2 > 2 GeV2 and W > 4 GeV. Nevertheless, the mean energy in the hadronic center of mass <W> ~ 6 to 7 GeV is f a i r l y small, and phase space effects are s t i l l
important.
As we shall see in more d e t a i l in Chap.6, the choice to the scaling variable is somewhat ambigious in lepton-nucleon i n t e r a c t i o n s , especially as f a r as slow p a r t i c l e s are concerned. The most commonly used variable is z = E/Ehad. E is the hadron energy in the laboratory frame, and Ehad is the t o t a l hadronic energy, which is equivalent to the quark energy. For fast hadrons (z ~ 0.2), z coincides with x = 2Pcms/W or with x R = 2Ecms/W. Figure 4.5 shows that the model f i t s the spectrum of quark fragments rather well as derived from electroproduction /91/. In Fig.4.8 data from neutrino-nucleus and neutrino-proton i n t e r a c t i o n s on the favored and unfavored fragmentation modes of u-quarks are compared to the FF model. Again the agreement is good. Included in Fig.4.8 are predictions of a l o n g i t u d i n a l phase space model, which demonstrates the influence of energy-momentum and charge conser-

has been constrained to the observed one. Obviously, much
of the difference observed between the "favored" and the "unfavored" d i s t r i b u t i o n of p o s i t i v e and negative hadrons is accounted f o r by simple charge conservation. Even the increase of the difference with z is reproduced. Events with a p a r t i c l e close to z ~ I have a low missing mass and therefore a low m u l t i p l i c i t y ;
effects due to
charge conservation are more important than in average events.

Summary
Based on the quark-parton model, the space-time evolution of a quark j e t can be visualized as an "inside-outside" cascade. Independent of the reference frame chosen, slow fragments are produced e a r l i e s t . The production of leading fragments, or equivalently the f i n a l neutralization of the primary color charge occurs a f t e r a time T proportional to the quark momentum Q. A quantitative description of t h i s process can be given using an analogy to two-dimensional QED, or a semiclassical quark model. The recursive scheme for j e t generation proposed by Feynman and Field is consistent with these models; i t produces the measured inclusive p a r t i c l e dist r i b u t i o n s in quark j e t s , and the data on correlations, f a i r l y well. One should note, however, that much of this agreement results simply from constraints due to four-momentum and charge conservation and can be obtained as well in an UJM (Chap. 3), once the mean m u l t i p l i c i t y is correctly chosen.
5. Parton Jets and QCD
The quark-parton model was o r i g i n a l l y developed to provide a useful and simple desc r i p t i o n of the physics of deep i n e l a s t i c phenomena / I - 4 , 9 6 , 9 7 / . The modern foundation for the parton model is the gauge theory of strong interactions based on the color degree of freedom: QCD. In QCD scaling of the deep i n e l a s t i c structure functions, which describe the quark d i s t r i b u t i o n within the nucleon, is predicted to be broken by logarithms of q2 = _Q2. Physically, these scaling v i o l a t i o n s are due to the emission or absorption of gluons during the hard-scattering process. Thus although the naive parton model, s t r i c t l y speaking, f a i l s , i t is possible to rephrase the parton language by assigning a well specified Q2 dependence to the parton densities /98/ G(x) ~ G(x,Q 2)
(5.!)
Already through the principle of analytic continuation of the scattering amplitude a Q2 dependence of the structure functions, describing the d i s t r i b u t i o n of partons in a hadron, also automatically induces a Q2 dependence of the fragmentation functions, which parameterize the d i s t r i b u t i o n of hadrons in a parton /99,100/. The dynamical mechanisms leading to this scale breaking are sketched in Fig.5.1. +
"Before" the quarks emitted, e . g . , in e e
-
annihilations, reach the surface of the
confining bag, they radiate gluons which may in turn convert into new quark-antiquark pairs. The bulk of low-momentum gluons is reflected at the bag surface and compensates the "vacuum pressure". Gluons and quarks in the high-momentum t a i l of the radiation however deform the surface of the bag and create a number of incoherent f i n a l state j e t s . The "parton shower" inside the bag is described by QCD, whereas the f i n a l confining stage has to be described by phenomenological models l i k e the FF j e t . Here we shall follow the h i s t o r i c a l approach and f i r s t discuss the mechanisms of scale breaking for the example of structure functions. F i n a l l y , we generalize the results to the case of fragmentation functions.

Scale Breaking in QCD
The formal and t h e o r e t i c a l l y rigorous d e r i v a t i o n of scale breaking in QCD is f o r mulated in the language of renormalization group equations for the c o e f f i c i e n t functions of local operators in the light-cone expansion for the product of two currents /I01/. A more i n t u i t i v e model for scaling v i o l a t i o n s in scale i n v a r i a n t theories has been given by KOGUT and SUSSKIND /44/ and we shall f o l l o w t h e i r lines of argument a t i o n /44,102,103/. We assume that matter organizes i t s e l f into "clusters" /104/. For example, molecules are made of atoms which are made of nuclei which are made of nucleons and so on. Each c l u s t e r is characterized by a certain size and time scale. The r e l a t i o n between these scales appears to be accidental. However, as smaller and smaller scales are probed in high-energy physics some kind of regular i t i e s may emerge; certain f i e l d theories suggest that the connections between adjacent scales may become universal. Consider time and length scales of ordinary hadrons, 10-13 cm, and denote those as N = 0 clusters which in turn are composite of N = I clusters (partons). Renormalization group investigations suggest that the dynamics of clusters of type N which form a c l u s t e r of type N-I can be described by a Hamiltonian HN without explicitly
refering to smaller clusters (N+I, for example). In an i n f i n i t e momentum
frame, HN depends on the f r a c t i o n a l momenta x of clusters of the type N and on t h e i r transverse momenta. The i n t u i t i v e picture suggested by WILSON /105/ and POLYAKOV / I 0 6 / was that at large N the coupling constant describing parton-parton interactions becomes constant and thus the r a t i o of t y p i c a l scales RN+I/RN = ~ approaches
48 a constant at large N. In that case, the transformation connecting the Hamiltonians HN+1 and HN is also independent of N. Imagine now an experiment, which probes hadrons with p a r t i c l e s of large four momentum q. Assume the q is spacelike. Then a reference frame can be chosen such that q consists only of a three vector, q = (0,9). Such a p r o j e c t i l e w i l l be able to resolve structures of the order of i t s wavelength ~ = Q-I = (_q2)-I/2. As the "target" hadron moves with roughly the speed of l i g h t , the time scales probed are of the order Q-I as w e l l . The parton d i s t r i b u t i o n which is relevant for the desc r i p t i o n of the process is that of clusters with RN ~ ~, since clusters of the type N+I cannot be resolved by the probe, whereas clusters of type N-I no longer appear p o i n t l i k e . This means ~ Ro6N
(5.2)
or, with ~ ~ Q-I : N ~ -In(RoQ)/In(6). To calculate the x d i s t r i b u t i o n of clusters of type N w i t h i n the o r i g i n a l hadron I dON GN(X) - o h dx
(5.3)
we introduce the function hN+1,N(Z) which gives the p r o b a b i l i t y per u n i t z of f i n ding a c l u s t e r of type N+I and l o n g i t u d i n a l momentum zx' in a c l u s t e r of type N and l o n g i t u d i n a l momentum x ' .
Invariance under l o n g i t u d i n a l boosts requires that
h depends only on z and not on the absolute momenta of the clusters. We neglect transverse momenta for the moment being. The d i s t r i b u t i o n of type N+I clusters is given by the convolution
I dx' GN(X ' )
GN+I(X ) = f ~ x

We shall now loosen the assumption of the existence of discrete scales; real f i e l d theories may not contain such abrupt t r a n s i t i o n s between scales. A better descript i o n is given using a smooth connection between d i f f e r e n t N and Q. With the replacements

The structure function G(x,t) can be obtained from i t s moments via the inverse Melf i n transform or by approximative numerical methods /107/. Let us now t r y to concatenate this picture and QCD as a description of parton dynamics. We i d e n t i f y a subnuclear "cluster" as a quark-parton, which, when probed at a higher q 2 looks l i k e one o f f - s h e l l quark surrounded by a cloud of gluons and quark-antiquark pairs. The coupling between quarks and gluons tends to zero as Q2 increases; QCD is an aymptotically free theory /74,75/: as(Q2 ) ~

f is the number of active flavors. For further calculations we write the t r a n s i t i o n p r o b a b i l i t y p as a product of the e f f e c t i v e coupling constant ~s(Q2)/2~ and a term depending only on the momentum ratios
as(t) p(x,t) = 2~ p(x)
(5.17)
Equation (5.13) 8G(a,t) _ as(t) ~t T p(a)G(a,t) is now e a s i l y solved: 2 2 ~p(a)/2~b [a(0)IP(a)/2~b = G (a) |In(Q /A )I G(~,t) : G 0 ( a ) [ ~ j

Thus QCD leads to logarithmic v i o l a t i o n s of scaling. In real QCD, we have not simply one parton-structure function G but instead the structure functions qi and g of 2f quark flavors (i = u~u,d,a . . . . ) and the gluon. Summing over a l l color states, we get from (5.10):

Fig.5.3. The fragmentation of a quark at tq can be considered as a mapping of the point G(x,tq) = [6(1-x),6(1-x),O] onto a hadronic final state o h . This can be done in two steps: G(x,tq) is f i r s t mapped onto G(X,tl); next G(x,t I) is mapped onto ~h
54 G(x,tq) : ~(1-x),~(1-X),0] or
G(m,tq) = (1,1,0)
(5.29)
onto the hadronic f i n a l state. On the other hand, G(m,tq) can be described in terms of a superposition of partons at t I , 0 ~ t I ~ tq. The r e l a t i o n between G(m,tq) and G(m,t I) is given by (5.27). The hadronic f i n a l state can now be evaluated by applying D(m,tl) on G(m,tl). Of course the f i n a l state d i s t r i b u t i o n function has to be independent of t I . So we obtain

or, with (5.27) aS ~-~ D(~,t) = T~ D(~,t)A(~)
(5.3o)
To solve (5.30) one needs a boundary condition at a reference Q2. We could use the FF j e t model at Q2 ~ 100 GeV where QCD effects should be negligible. The explicit
calculation of the scale breaking in parton jets is however complicated by
the fact that a physical quark or gluon is never a pure f l a v o r nonsinglet. Through the s i n g l e t term in the quark density G(~,tq) quark and gluon terms become mixed up. Thus to find the quark fragmentation function, one has to know as well the gluon fragmentation functions at the reference Q2. To a r r i v e at a more quantitat i v e understanding of the process, we shall consider the parton densities G(x,0) 2 2 within a j e t i n i t i a t e d by a quark at Q2 >> Q0~ Q0 is chosen as low as possible (of course, the v a l i d i t y of the perturbative QCD expansion has s t i l l
to be guaranteed).
That means, we observe the "parton shower" i n i t i a t e d by a primary quark at a point j u s t before the nonperturbative conversion into hadrons starts. De GRAND /110/ has shown that in the high Q2 l i m i t the d i s t r i b u t i o n qnS (favored nonsinglet component), unf (unfavored component, e . g . , antiquarks) and g (gluons) from (5.27) may be

Obviously, as Q2 goes to i n f i n i t y , a l l parton (and hadron) d e n s i t i e s concentrate a t x = 0. The r a t i o of the various components stays constant. Compared to the valence quark, gluons and sea quarks are suppressed by f a c t o r s ( l - x ) and ( l - x ) 2 r e s p e c t i v e l y . Thus the leading p a r t i c l e e f f e c t , which means the dominance a t high x of p a r t i c l e s containing the o r i g i n a l quark is not destroyed by the QCD c o r r e c t i o n s .

Preconfinement
I f one compares the QCD results on parton fragmentation (5.30) with the results of naive confinement models (Chap.4), a paradox seems to emerge. In QCD, the decay 2 of a parton at Q2 into many partons of lower QO is entirely governed by the color charge of the fragmenting parton. The pictorial flux tube connecting the two color sources plays no role at a l l , a second source is not even needed! Furthermore, the QCD " f i n a l " state at t = 0 contains a number of color t r i p l e t and octet sources, which are assumed to decay independently according to fragmentation functions D(x,O), whereas naively one expects a system of color f l u x tubes joining these sources.
56
The origin of these problems is the following. The confinement and QCD picture apply to different stages of the process and even to different kinematical regions. The naive confinement picture mainly addresses the question how do nearly on-shell partons transform into hadrons to form a rapidity plateau; whereas QCD describes the evolution of fast partons, which are far off shell within the j e t . Nevertheless, the question remains how do the two different approaches, the confinement model at Q2 ~ Q~, ~ and the QCD picture at high Q2 join smoothly. Recently, KONISHI et al. /111/ have proposed a generalization of (5.30) to describe the t-dependence of n-parton cross section in jets. They describe the parton fragmentation as a branching process /112/; an exact derivation of their method has been given by KIRSCHNER/113/ using the leading log approximation. In close analogy to the model of KOGUTand SUSSKIND /44/, i t is shown that in the QCD evolution of a j e t , partons of size QK decay ("branch") into two partons of size QK-I" The process may be visualized as real decay in spacetime /114/. The lifetime ?K associated to the propagator of a patton in the Kth generation is /114/ (5.34)
?K = XKQ/Q~
in agreement with the naive expectation from the uncertainty relation, r K = y/AE, with y = XKQ/QK and AE = QK" From (5.34) we get the total time for j e t development
r ~ ~
Q----2 K-I 2
K=I QK

-
(5.35)
QO
The factor 2K-I in (5.35) arises since the Kth generation contains 2K-! partons. This result is in qualitative agreement with that obtained from the naive fragmentation model of Sect.4.1. The j e t development, by branching of a parton of mass QK into two partons close in mass instead of decay by on-shell bremsstrahlung, is a specific feature of the parton formfactor in QCD. One gets 2 Q K + I exp I_2 ~ n(Q~/Q~)] I/21
(5.36)
One of the most important advantages of this scheme is that i t allows to calculate the distribution of color sources in the final state. AMATI and VENEZIANO /115/ calculated the distribution of color among the n final partons of mass QO' with the astonishing result that already perturbative QCD provides a "preconfinement" of
57 color. They discovered that these "final state" partons are grouped into colorless clusters in a number s u f f i c i e n t to "exhaust" the final state, but s t i l l possessing 2 a f i n i t e average mass of the order QO" The result is peculiar of QCD, in particular of its nonabelian nature. Let me b r i e f l y sketch t h e i r derivation.
In the axial gauge
and at the leading log level, the flow of color during the degradation of a high Q2 2 quark into partons at QO is determined by planar diagrams, which means that color flow lines must not cross. Nonplanar diagrams are suppressed by I/Ncolo r factors. This is visualized by Fig.5.4. Note that a quark corresponds to a single color l i n e , whereas a gluon can be displayed as a color t r i p l e t - a n t i t r i p l e t
state corres-
ponding to two color lines. Obviously, i t is always possible to group the " f i n a l state" partons into nonoverlapping, colorless clusters. Partons inside each cluster are nearby in the branching-tree structure of the j e t . Consequently, the clusters have f i n i t e masses, as demonstrated in Fig.5.5.

Either one chooses QO 2 as being r e l a t i v e l y large, or QO ~ 10-100 GeV2, The f i n a l - s t a t e , c o l o r - s i n g l e t clusters are then color f l u x strings connecting a quark and the corresponding a n t i + quark. Their decay properties are known from e e annihilations at lower energies and are described by the phenomenological parton models described in Chap.4.

Nevertheless, the results turn out to be in f a i r agreement with data. Figure 5.7 2 shows the mean m u l t i p l i c i t y of partons at QO ~ I GeV2 in quark-antiquark j e t s as a function of the cms energy together with measurements. The model values are taken from Monte Carlo calculations /118/ where the parton shower is simulated in analogy to simulations of electromagnetic showers /119/, thereby keeping trace of a l l f i n i t e mass and f i n i t e transverse momentum effects. This l a s t point has proven to be essential.
The results d i f f e r appreciably from analytical calculations (5.37) which neg-
l e c t such effects. In f a c t , asymptotic behavior is not yet reached at Q2 as large as 104-105 GeV2 /118/.
5.3
Production of Heavy Hadrons
Another essential aspect of scale breaking in quark jets is the production of heavy quark flavors. At s u f f i c i e n t l y high Q2, i t is possible that a gluon radiated from the primary quark converts into a pair of heavy quark flavors, l i k e charm. The charmed quarks fragment and produce charmed mesons. In p r i n c i p l e , such processes are contained in (5.27) and (5.30) since the pfunctions (5.20) e x p l i c i t l y depend on the number of active flavors f . P r a c t i c a l l y
6O these effects are neglected in most calculations because otherwise the p-functions get an additional Q2 dependence f = f(Q2) Neglecting threshold effects, the Q2 dependence of the charmed meson production can be calculated from (5.30)

Figure 5.8a shows the results for perturbative charm production by charmed quarks, gluons and l i g h t quarks as given by GEORGI and POLITZER /120/. The quantity plotted is the second moment of the charmed meson d i s t r i b u t i o n , equivalent to the mean fraction of momentum carried by a l l charmed fragments. Q u a l i t a t i v e l y , the curves behave as expected, charmed i n i t i a l
quarks are most e f f e c t i v e in producing charmed mesons.
Only at high Q2 additional quarks and gluons are produced perturbatively, thus d i minishing the mean "charmed momentum". At f i r s t sight, however, the enormous d i f f e rence between the l i g h t quark and gluon-fragmentation function seems surprising. The obvious reason is that a heavy quark can be produced by a primary gluon via pair production. In the light-quark case the gluon has to be taken from the steeplyf a l l i n g bremsstrahlung spectrum. Quantitatively, the model does not reproduce the presumably f a l l i n g fragmentation functions of charmed quarks into a charmed meson /121/. This default is due to the boundary condition of (5.38) and i t demonstrates that one has to be very careful in choosing these l i m i t s . The boundary conditions imposed on (5.30) have to be given in a region where the quark fragmentation is dominated by perturbative QCD effects and where the influence of phase space is negligible. Equation (5.38), however, is merely a consequence of the limited phase space available. George and Glashow have as well t r i e d to describe the perturbative production of strange mesons (Fig.5.8b) using ms ~ 500 MeV. In this regime f i r s t - o r d e r perturbative QCD is not expected to hold, so the strong discrepancy to the measured values is not astonishing [using the FF j e t as a parametrization of nonperturbative jets at moderate Q2, one gets D~(2,Q2 ~ 100) ~ 0.38 and DS,d(2'Q2u ~ 100) ~ 0.22; gluons should be in between].
5.4
Transverse Momentum Structure of Parton Jets
In the naive quark-jet models, the l a t e r a l width of the j e t is e s s e n t i a l l y determined by the diameter of the color string connecting the primary quarks. The mean transverse momentum of the produced particles is independent of the j e t energy, Q2, and of the x of the p a r t i c l e s , apart from t r i v i a l
kinematical effects at very low
and at very high x. Such a naive j e t represents a cylinder in momentum space. All these statements become i n v a l i d as soon as one includes QCD scale breaking. This is e a s i l y visualized in the scale-invariant parton model of KOGUT and SUSSKIND (see Sect.5.1) /102/. Let us calculate the transverse momentum of a parton of size k-1 descending from a parton of size k. Since no other scale is present, the r e s u l t must be proportional to the parton size

where f is a function of the strong coupling constant ~k" In asymptotic free theories one can calculate f(~k ) perturbatively. Only those "decays" where at least two partons of type k-1 are generated contribute to
Q2 In2(Q2/A2)
Furthermore, this smearing depends on the f r a c t i o n of momentum carried by the hadron. A hadron at high x must contain partons from "early" stages of the decay and thus carry t h e i r large transverse momentum. A hadron at low x, on the other hand, w i l l only contain one of the many fragments in the late stages of the decay and w i l l receive only a small fraction of the early partons transverse momenta. _2 1/2 0 <~> ~ Xln ~

A QCD j e t at very high Q2 i s , therefore, represented by a cone in momentum space. There are two ways to calculate the transverse structure of j e t s e x p l i c i t l y from QCD. F i r s t , i t is easy to generalize (5.30) and include transverse momenta in the p functions /122/. Since in this case one has to know j e t shapes at a reference Q2, this method is not able to predict the width of QCD j e t s a p r i o r i . More precisely, as the estimates given above (5.39) and (5.40) in fact represent only lower l i m i t s , the method is not even able to prove the existence of f i n i t e - w i d t h QCD j e t s at a l l . A second way, which avoids these problems, was proposed by STERMAN and WEINBERG /123/. They calculated the f u l l QCD cross section in f i r s t order of aS for quarkantiquark production by v i r t u a l photons. The diagrams contributing to o are shown in Fig.5.9. As predicted by the KINOSHITA-LEE-NAUENBURG theorem /152/ a l l divergencies occuring in the single diagrams of Fig.5.9 cancel in the calculations of observable quantities. As a measure of the transverse width of a j e t , Sterman and Weinberg calculated the f r a c t i o n f of events having a f r a c t i o n ~ of t h e i r energy outside a pair of cones of half angle 6 << I .

Extensions of this formula to a wider range of parameters and calculations in higher orders have been published by several authors /125-127/. The main results of (5.41), however, remain unchanged: neglecting the effects due to confinement, QCD jets are well collimated in angle. At / s = 7 GeV one obtains 70% of all events having more than 80% of their energy within a double cone of half angle 130. At increasing energy and constant fractions, this angle decreases as E- I / 4 . Thus, the conjecture that jets look narrower at higher energies is supported by QCD. The rate of shrinking of the opening angle is, however, much less than expected for fixed p,. jets. At f i n i t e energies, (5.41) does not describe the final state hadrons. There, the nonperturbative smearing of transverse momenta has to be included. The interplay of the two components is demonstrated in Fig.5.10, which shows results of Monte Carlo calculations taken from /124/. In Fig.5.10 the half angle of a double cone containing 90% of the energy in a fraction f of all events is plotted as a function of Q2. Dotted and dashed lines denote the contributions from the nonperturvative and perturbative components alone, respectively. One recognizes that below Q2 ~ 1000 GeV2, QCD effects are small; above Q2 ~ 104_105 GeV2, one has nearly pure QCD jets.
5.5
Gluon Jets
Up to now, we have dealt with the simplest type of jets, e.g., quark-antiquark jets resulting from the confinement of a color t r i p l e t - a n t i t r i p l e t system. However, color confinement is, of course, not restricted to color t r i p l e t s ; any attempt to separate nonsinglet color systems w i l l produce jets. In QCD the second basic colored state besides the t r i p l e t is an octet, the gluon.

Assume we generate two color octets of opposite color charge with a high invariant mass Q2.

with boundary conditions corresponding to one gluon at t = In(Q2/Q~). Asymptotically, the density of partons in the plateau of a gluon j e t turns out to be 9/4 of the dens i t y in the quark plateau /110/. Correspondingly, the number of final state hadrons should be larger by roughly the same factor. I t has been pointed out by BRODSKYthat the last assumption may be only p a r t i a l l y valid /129/. Due to the higher density of partons in rapidity, the average mass of the hadronic clusters formed in the last stage of confinement, as well as their decay m u l t i p l i c i t y , should be smaller. Nevertheless, the height of the plateau of gluon jets should be roughly twice as large as in quark jets. However, all these statements hold only at very large Q2, where mass effects are negligible. Figure 5.11 demonstrates that with a f i n i t e Q2, the difference between quark and gluon jets is smaller than predicted by (5.45).

Equation (5.47) demonstrates the striking fact that the quark spectrum within a gluon is much flatter than the spectrum of gluons within a gluon jet.

The stronger coupling of gluons to gluons also leads to a different pattern of scaling violations. First, the mean perturbative opening angle of gluon jets is 9/4 of the opening angle of a quark j e t at the same Q2 /130,131/. Second, the effects of longitudinal scale breaking are increased by roughly the same factor. This is evident from Fig.5.12, where the Q2 dependence of the nth moment of the final state hadron density (n = 2,4,6,8,10) is shown for gluon jets (a) and for quark jets (b) (taken from /132/). In conclusion, using QCDwe expect that gluon jets at high Q2 have an increased decay multiplicity. The leading hadron spectrum is steeper by factor (l-x) compared to quark jets. Since gluons are flavor neutral, there is no "favored" leading flavor in a gluon jet, except perhaps mesons containing a strong glueball admixture.

Quantitative Test of QCD Predictions for Jets in e e Reactions
The main effect of QCD corrections in parton jets is a redistribution of the energy f l u x ; longitudinal spectra are steepened and transverse spectra are widened. In Chapt. 3 is shown that a scale breaking of longitudinal distributions could also be induced by nonasymptotic, nonperturbative effects. Furthermore, the expected size of QCD corrections to do/dx is small (5.33) and beyond the accuracy of present measurements. Therefore, quantitative tests of QCD corrections mainly deal with the transverse broadening of jets. Among the main questions to be answered are: I)
Is the effective coupling constant aS, which governs scale breaking in quark jets, compatible with the values obtained in IN scattering at a similar Q2?
II)
Is gluon bremsstrahlung described by the QCD matrix element for spin - I boson emission?
I l l ) How can the gluon fragmentation function be determined? Quantitative results available up to now concern point I) and I I ) . As discussed in Chap.2, the increase in the mean p~ of secondaries with respect to a f i t t e d j e t axis can be tracted to the appearance of events containing three planar jets. The number of such events with noncollinear jets, or, equivalently, the number of tracks in the t a i l of the p~ d i s t r i b u t i o n , is proportional to aS.

Summary
At large q2, where aS is small, the evolution of j e t s , as discussed in Chap.4 in a very phenomenological way, can be calculated perturbatively in QCD. The char a c t e r i s t i c feature of these "QCD j e t s " is a broadening of the transverse size of a j e t proportional to Q2/In(Q 2) and a steepening of longitudinal d i s t r i b u t i o n s . The QCD contributions to the transverse j e t size should be relevant at Q2 ~ 1000 GeV2. The effects seen at highest PETRA energies are compatible with QCD predictions, both q u a l i t a t i v e l y and q u a n t i t a t i v e l y .
69 The QCD model can be applied also to gluon fragmentation. The main p r e d i c t i o n s concerning gluon j e t s are: - the l o n g i t u d i n a l d i s t r i b u t i o n
of fragments is s o f t e r than in quark j e t s ,
the
opening angle of a gluon j e t is l a r g e r ; the production of heavy f l a v o r s is enhanced,

6. The Fragmentation of Parton Systems
In Chap.2 and 4, we considered interactions where a four momentum q is transferred to a single parton giving rise to the production of j e t s . We restricted our attention to very simple i n i t i a l
conditions. The systems studied consisted of a parton
and an antiparton of opposite color. Furthermore, only elementary, irreducible partons were considered, i . e . , quarks and gluons. These l i m i t a t i o n s reduce the number of variables. The resolution power I/~ ~ v~qZl of the probe is identical to the invariant mass ~ of the hadronic f i n a l state. In the picture of color f l u x strings, the geometry of the color f i e l d connecting the two partons is well defined. Experimentally, these conditions are f u l f i l l e d only in one type of reaction; the decay of a heavy (timelike) state into quark or gluon pairs. Other deep i n e l a s t i c reactions, l i k e the scattering of quarks out of a nucleon by probes of large spacelike momenta, create more complex f i n a l states which cannot be f u l l y described by the tools discussed above. In this chapter we shall t r y to give a phenomenological description of these reactions.

(6.3)
The invariant mass W of the hadronic final state is given by W2:
(pn+q) 2 = Q2(1/x-1)+m~
(6.4)
74 m is a typical transverse mass of hadrons in j e t s , m ~ 0 (0.5 GeV). The range Y is exhausted by two types of fragments: those arising from the confinement process of the active quark are spread over a region Yq tions. The residual region YT ~ I n ( I / x - l )
In(Q2/m~),~ l i k e in

e- annihila-
is populated by spectator fragments (Fig.
6.2c) /137-143/. Details of the structure of the f i n a l state can be derived by considering the configuration of color sources. For definiteness l e t us use r a p i d i t i e s in the t a r get rest frame and assume that an antiquark has been struck. The scattered quark represents an a n t i t r i p l e t at YLAB = Y' the opposite color pole being the spectator +
at YLAB ~ I n ( I / x - l ) .
In analogy to e e
-
reactions, we thus expect to see a plateau
region of the length ~ Y - I n ( I / x - l ) - 2 . . . 3 followed by a shoulder at YLAB ~ Y containing the d i r e c t fragments of the active quark. Predictions concerning the region of the target or spectator fragments are less evident. The standard assumption /138,139,143/ is the following: quark-antiquark pairs from the sea have low i n v a r i a n t masses and the r a p i d i t i e s of quark and a n t i quark are s i m i l a r . So the sea quark l e f t over is localized at the primordial rapid i t y of the active quark, YLAB ~ I n ( I / x - l ) .
In analogy to the Dirac picture of a n t i -
p a r t i c l e s as hole states in a neutral continuum, this quark is often referred to as the quark hole. At YLAB ~ O, the three valence quarks form a color octet since much e a r l i e r one of them emitted the gluon which created the sea quark pair. Consequentl y , one may expect to find the valence and hole fragments at YLAB ~ 0 and at YLAB In(I/x-l),
respectively, connected by a hadronic plateau created by the octet co-
lor field. I t was pointed out by BRODSKY/137/ that this model may not be appropriate. The initial
f i v e quark Fock state is a s o f t , coherent, and long-lived fluctuation of
the nucleon core. In a coherent state, however, i t is impossible to further local i z e color charges. This is e a s i l y demonstrated in the parton picture. The r e l a t i v e l y small mass of a nucleon implies that the mean transverse mass of sea quarks goes to zero as x goes to zero /144/. Then, however, the r a p i d i t y spread of a low mass qq pair may be arbitrarily
large.
Under these conditions, any further subdivision of the target region seems unmotivated (Fig.6.2d). We shall return to this point l a t e r when discussing specific models of the fragmentation of multiquark states. Besides the scattering o f f of a primordial sea parton, a quark pair may be created dynamically as an integral part of the scattering process due to the p o i n t l i k e coupling of the current to a quark l i n e (Fig.6.3b). In this case, the residual quark is o f f shell of the order O(Q2) and is localizable within the target nucleon. Because
75 of i t s large distance of the mass shell and i t s short lifetime, this quark hole is an incoherent part of the spectator wave function and fragments independentl~ Through the exchange of hard quanta, even the coherence of the nucleon's valence core may be partly destroyed. This process should dominate lepton-nucleon interactions at high Q2; the resulting final state w i l l resemble (Fig.6.2c). Of course, the s t r i c t division between coherent and incoherent sea partons, between primordial quarks and those created dynamically, and between nonperturbative and perturbative effects are somewhat arbitrary. In r e a l i t y one w i l l have a smooth transition between the two regimes. At low Q2, Q2 ~ 0 (I GeV2), coherent soft interactions between current and target compete with the above hard processes. At low Q2 and W2 quasi-elastic scattering of the lepton may occur, resulting in the production of excited nucleon states. At higher W, the vector meson component of weak or electromagnetic currents may interact with the nucleon by exchanging wee partons (Fig.6.3c). Both target and current region form coherent states. Obviously such interactions are not suited to study parton jets. In the experimental data quoted in the following discussion, quasi-elastic events are removed by cuts in Q2 and in W (typically Q2 > 2 GeV2, W> 4 GeV). The cut in Q2 as well suppresses coherent interactions. For almost a l l applications, the requirement Q2 > 2 GeV2 is selective enough. Before going into a more detailed discussion, a few words concerning the choice of reference frames and variables. The three-momentum component of the current defines a preferred axis along which the color sources involved are more or less aligned. This fixes the reference frame except for longitudinal boosts. Four conventions are usual: - the laboratory frame in which the target was at rest before the interaction. The usual scale variable for j e t studies is z = Ehadron/total hadronic energy EH. -
The center of mass frame of the hadronic final state. Scaling variable is x F = 2p~/W.
- The B r e i t frame, in which the probe c a r r i e s only momentum, but no energy. Scaling v a r i a b l e is z B = 2p~/lq I, - The r e s t frame of the a c t i v e quark a f t e r s c a t t e r i n g . Neglecting nucleon and quark masses, the frames are connected by the boosts (Fig.6.4) (with Q measured in ~GeV)

Obviously, the laboratory and the quark rest frame are suited to study the fragmentation of the valence core of the target, and of the scattered quark, respectively. The center of the color t r i p l e t plateau is characterized by YBREIT = O. The scaling variables quoted above are used to describe the fragmentation of the scattered quark. For fast fragments, p,, >> m., the variables agree asymptotically. The study of interactions of p o i n t l i k e probes with hadrons provides the opport u n i t y to check our ideas on quark fragmentation in a more complex environment compared to e+e- a n n i h i l a t i o n s , and i t further provides information on the fragmentation of compound parton systems, such as diquarks. To a r r i v e at a unified description of the various hard processes and to enable quantitative predictions, we shall discuss the principles of scaling, environmental independence, f a c t o r i z a t i o n , and j e t u n i v e r s a l i t y .
6.2.
Environmental Independence and Factorization
The hypothesis of environmental independence is i m p l i c i t l y contained in the genuine quark-parton model / I - 4 , 8 0 / and was f i r s t
stated e x p l i c i t l y by SEGHAL /90/. Environ-
mental independence means that the d i s t r i b u t i o n s of hadrons in the parton fragmentation region of a specific process is expressible as
77
I d~h dz
. ~iD~(z)
(6.6)
= Z 1
whereh~i is the p r o b a b i l i t y that the fragmentation parton is of type i ( Z i ~ i = I ) and Di(z) is the fragmentation function depending on a scaling variable z. This means that for the purpose of calculation, we may assume that the primary i n t e r action creates a "parton beam" with a composition given by the p r o b a b i l i t i e s ~ i ' and that each parton v a r i e t y i decays into hadrons of type h with a d i s t r i b u t i o n i
D~(z) which is independent of the origin of the parton. I
§
-
The probabilities Ei characterize the process under investigation. In e e annihilations the ci are proportional to the quark charges squared, whereas in leptonnucleon interactions they further depend on the fractional momentum x of the interacting parton. In (6.6) the fragmentation functions are assumed to scale. The scaling variable used by Seghal to describe quark fragmentation in lepton-nucleon reactions was z, defined as the ratio of the actual and the maximum hadron energy in the laboratory frame. In general, the choice of the "suited" reference frame is ambiguous. Figs. 6.2 and 6.3 suggest using zB in the above case, whereas naively one may choose xF. This problem disappears at i n f i n i t e l y high energies. Here the relation Ph = Zpq
(6.7)
between the four momenta Ph and pq of quark and hadron, respectively, holds in a l l frames with the same z. At f i n i t e energies (6.6) should hold for those hadrons which are f a s t (E >> mh) in each of the various frames. What is the experimental evidence for factorization? We have seen in Chap.4 that §
-
the fragmentation functions measured in e e annihilations, in electroproduction, and in neutrino-nucleon interactions can be described by one unique parametrization. This is once more demonstrated in Fig.6.5, where the z d i s t r i b u t i o n of charged hadrons is summarized for the various reactions /93/. The measurements agree at not too high z within the error bars. At z > 0.8 a s l i g h t discrepancy seems to develop. One should bear in mind, however, that the d i s t r i b u t i o n s have been measured using d r a s t i c a l l y d i f f e r e n t detectors; that acceptance corrections and selection c r i t e r i a (e.g., on the minimum number of reconstructed tracks per event) have been applied; and l a s t , but not least, that the Q2 range and the f i n a l state masses d i f f e r with typical Q2 being as low as 2 GeV2 in the neutrino reactions compared to Q2 ~ 0 (25 GeV2) in the e+e- case. All these differences mainly influence the region close to z ~ I.

Fig.6.5. The fragmentation Dq-(z) for charged hadrons in various hard reactions /93/
In all types of quark jets, typical transverse momenta with respect to the axis turn out to be of the order 300-400 MeV/c, and all show the seagull effect /145/. On the other hand, do we expect exact environmental independence and scaling for quark jets? I t has been pointed out that phase space effects lead to nonscaling of fragmentation functions even i f the basic matrix element is scale invariant. Thus we get D~(z) ~ase space D~(z,W)
(6.8)
Following the argumentation of Kogut and Susskind (see Chap.5), a scattered parton is not f u l l y described by the parton type; one has to know as well its "size" Q2.
D~(z) field theor~ D~(z'Q2)
(6.9)
The scale breaking leads to a shrinking of the z distribution and to a broadening of p~ distribution within the j e t . Moreover, we have seen in Sect.6.1 and in Chap.5 that the quark composition of the target, as probed by a pointlike current, depends on q2 as well, and that the clean separation of target structure and interaction is no longer possible. Does this imply the total breakdown of the idea of environmental independence?
79 Fortunately, QCD provides us with the equivalent principle of f a c t o r i z a t i o n , as far as the Q2 dependence of the process is concerned. Fig.6.6a describes the i n t e r action of a probe with a hadron as seen in the naive quark model. The incoming nucleon s p l i t s into a quark and a spectator. The quark scatters l i k e a pointlike obj e c t , and both active quark and spectator decay independently. The QCD version of the process is shown in Fig.6.6b. The incoming hadron dissociates into a primordial quark and a spectator according to the structure function G(x'). Prior to the i n t e r action with the probe, the quark radiates and becomes o f f shell of order Q2. I t absorbs the probe and again radiates quanta to approach again the mass shell. The p r a c t i c a l l y on-shell quark and the spectator decay with fragmentation functions D(z'), where z' is the ratio of the hadron and the dressed quark energies. Despite these effects, environmental independence should s t i l l
hold since i t has been pro-
ven that the violations of scaling induced by radiation before and after the hard scattering processes are independent of the precise nature of the hard process /146-148/. The naive model of scale breaking by Kogut and Susskind also suggests such a behavior.

The scaling violations can be absorbed in the d e f i n i t i o n of the now Q2 dependent structure and fragmentation function. In lepton-nucleon scattering, the cross section factorizes as do = do dxdz ~ (x'Q2)n(z'Q2)
(6.10)
The factorization was shown to hold for the leading QCD corrections ~ s ( Q 2 ) I n ( Q 2 ~ and in the leading log approximation /146/. So factorization is the QCD analogy of the naive parton model's environmental independence.
80 Recent investigations have shown that factorization, however, is only approximated in QCD and is violated by terms 0(~S) /149-151/. This is demonstrated by Fig.6.7 where the effective quark fragmentation functions as calculated by QCD up to 0(~S) for deep inelastic scattering processes are compared for different x /151/. The fragmentation functions depend on x as well as on z, the violations of scaling being strongest at large x and z. Although the effects of nonfactorization are small in those regions where the bulk of present data l i e s , one should be aware that this effect signals the point were the i n t u i t i v e parton picture breaks down; i t no longer makes sense to treat quark distributions and fragmentation functions as separate entities. ep ~ e ~ ' * X Oz=SGeVZ/c z

Besides these corrections related to the emission of quanta at large Q2, i t is s t i l l a controversy to what extent bound state effects modify the asymptotic predictions /153-156,158/. Apart from " t r i v i a l " target mass corrections /157/, the exchange of soft gluons between an active quark and a spectator may lead to additional corrections depending both on x and Q2. Although the importance of these "higher twist" effects is proportional to powers of the interaction time T ~ I/Q /155-157/ 2 (and is therefore negligible at Q2 >> mnucleon), they may yield large corrections at moderate Q2 /159/. What is the experimental situation? From Fig.6.5 we learned that factorization at least approximates r e a l i t y . However, experimental uncertainties make a definite conclusion d i f f i c u l t . A better test of factorization is possible in lepton-nucleon
81 scattering where d2o/dxdz can be measured for various x using the identical detector and acceptance corrections. Even in this case, however, the interpretation of data is not unambiguous. Because of W2 = Q2(1/x-1)
(6.11)
any v a r i a t i o n of x with Q2 fixed (to test f a c t o r i z a t i o n ) or of Q2 with x fixed [to measure D(z,Q 2) to compare with QCD predictions] changes W as w e l l , giving r i s e to scale breaking due to phase effects. Figure 6.8 shows the d i s t r i b u t i o n of masses W of the hadronic f i n a l state as measured by a typical neutrino-nucleon scattering experiment performed at the Fermilab wide band beam using the 15 f t hydrogen bubble chamber /160/. The bulk of + -
data l i e s below W < 5 GeV. In e e
reactions, however, this is the point were a
j e t structure starts to be v i s i b l e , averaged over many events! In that region, the structure of a single event is dominated by phase space effects. This is once more visualized in Fig.6.9 where the mean m u l t i p l i c i t i e s in the quark fragmentation region z > 0.2 are plotted vs W /160/. Scaling implies that these m u l t i p l i c i t i e s should be constant. The deviations are due to threshold effects and are well explained by a phase space model (solid l i n e s ) . Using a cut W > 4 GeV to exclude the influence of phase space l i m i t a t i o n s , the experimentalists claim to see no s i g n i f i c a n t violations of scaling or f a c t o r i z a t i o n .

Fig.6.12. Quark fragmentation functions into charged and neutral hadrons for three bins of Q2 as derived from muoproduction /163/. The f u l l l i n e shows the prediction of the FF j e t model for Q2~ 10 GeV2
83 The same result was obtained with higher statistics by an electroproduction experiment at CORNELL/161,162/. Figure 6.10 shows d2o/dxdz for various x, normalized to the average do/dz. Cuts on the four-momentum transfer Q2 > 2 GeV2 and on W> 3 GeV suppress kinematical effects at low masses and reject quasi-elastic events. Within the x range covered,'no significant violations of factorization are seen, the upper limits being s t i l l compatible with QCD predictions (Fig.6.7). Figure 6.11 shows that at fixed Wthe mean transverse momentum of fragments is independent of x as well. The same conclusions were obtained by an experiment studying ~p interactions /167/ and by a recent muoproduction experiment investigating the region of large Q2, 5 GeV2 ~ Q2 ~ 100 GeV2. Within the experimental accuracy, no violations of scaling or factorization were obtained (Fig.6.12) /163/. A controversial result was reached by a recent high-statistics bubble-chamber experiment on vp interactions /164/. Figure 6.13 shows the inclusive distribution (I/~)(do/dz) for two ranges of Q2 averaged over all W. Significant differences are observed when going from Q2 ~ I-2 GeV2 to Q2 ~ 5-40 GeV2. Because of the interrelationship of x, Q2 and Wthis signals either a breakdown of factorization or of scaling, or the dominance of phase space effects.

F!g.6.14. Third fragmentation moment of positive hadrons with xF > 0 vs Bjorken x for three intervals of Q2. From BEBCvH2 /164/
84 have been calculated and compared to QCD predictions /149/. Figure 6.14 shows the x dependence of the t h i r d moment of the density of positive particles in the quark fragmentation region x F > 0 for three intervals of Q2. For Q2 ~ I to 5 GeV2, a clear v i o l a t i o n of f a c t o r i z a t i o n is observed; D+(3,Q2) depends strongly on x at fixed average Q2. On the other hand, the moments of the fragmentation function depend strongly on Q2 as w e l l , when averaged over x (Fig.6.15). The observed nonscaling is in rough agreement with the QCD predictions based on (5.33), although the f i t y i e l d s a rather large scale parameter A ~ 0.6 GeV. Note however, that the f i n a l state mass W ranges between I and 3 GeV for x > 0.3 and Q2 = 2 GeV2! I t would be rather astonishing i f f a c t o r i z a t i o n or scaling, in the sense of QCD, holds at these masses. In f a c t , i f the moments are investigated at fixed W, i . e . ,
i f a cut W > 4 GeV
is used l i k e in most other experiments, data agree with scaling and f a c t o r i z a t i o n ; the Q2 dependence of the moments disappears completely (Fig.6.15b). I t is possible, that the good agreement with QCD, as obtained in Fig.6.15a by f i t t i n g only one free parameter A, is faked by phase space effects? This question has been investigated by ENGELS et a l . /165/ by using the example of j e t s in e+e- annihilations. They compared the shape of D(n,Q 2) as predicted by QCD, with scaling v i o l a t i o n s given by a longitudinal phase space model as described in Chap.3 (Fig.6.16). The shapes of the two sets of curves are very s i m i l a r ; at low Q2 or S, the phase space model predicts an even stronger v a r i a t i o n of D(n,Q2) with Q2. So t h i s model would even explain why no v i o l a t i o n s of scaling are observed above W = 4, whereas in QCD one expects scaling v i o l a t i o n s to be independent of W, at least i f 0(~ S) correlations are neglected. To summarize so f a r , the v i o l a t i o n s of scaling and f a c t o r i z a t i o n observed in longitudinal d i s t r i b u t i o n s in quark jets are compatible with kinematical threshold effects which vanish above W ~ 4 GeV. Such a behavior i s , within the l i m i t e d stat i s t i c s of data, s t i l l
consistent with QCD, since QCD corrections to longitudinal
fragmentation functions are r e l a t i v e l y small bee (5.33)]. We have seen in Chap.2 that the transverse size of j e t s exhibits nonscaling at the highest PETRA energies. Nevertheless, in most cases only t a i l s of d i s t r i b u t i o n s are concerned, and a constant mean p~ for fragmentation is s t i l l
a f a i r l y reaso-
nable assumption. Thus, we conclude that at present energies, the principles of scaling and fact o r i z a t i o n provide a good description of the main features of quark j e t systems. A d i r e c t consequence of f a c t o r i z a t i o n is the retention of quark quantum numbers at high r a p i d i t i e s of the current fragmentation region, up to a constant term. This has been demonstrated q u a l i t a t i v e l y in Chap.4; here we w i l l b r i e f l y summarize quant i t a t i v e results.

Jet Universality
At moderate energies the j e t physics is dominated by the parton fragmentation regions investigated in the last section. At asymptotic energies, however, the d i r e c t quark or spectator fragments populate only a r e l a t i v e l y small region of the whole r a p i d i t y range; the dominant contribution to p a r t i c l e production comes from the plateau region. The idea of j e t universality t r i e s to relate the structure of the r a p i d i t y plateaus observed in the various deep inelastic reactions. The idea of an "universal" plateau, whose properties are asymptotically independent of target and current in current-induced reactions was f i r s t KEN and KOGUT /169/ based on correspondence principles.
suggested by BJOR-
In an universal plateau the
density of each p a r t i c l e species (I/~)(d2~/dydp2) is independent of the final state mass and the reaction considered. Consequently, one predicts an universal behavior of m u l t i p l i c i t i e s .
(6.13)
Taking into account our present ideas on parton fragmentation, this model has to be modified s l i g h t l y .
In two-dimensional quark-gluon bremsstrahlung models, as discussed
in Chaps.4 and 5, the mean m u l t i p l i c i t y
per unit of r a p i d i t y grows with the square
of the partons color charge. This observation led BRODSKYand GUNION /15/ to the following universality principle:
the properties of the hadronic plateau are unique-
ly determined by the type of color charges separated, independent of the flavor content of the color sources. In QCD, the two basic sources of color are t r i p l e t s ,
such as quarks or diquarks,
and octets, such as gluons or quark-antiquark pairs. In current-nucleon interactions at high Q2, one should observe a t r i p l e t of the length Y3x3 ~ In(Q2) and on octet
plateau of the length Y8•

~ In(I/x-l)
(Fig.6.2c), thus, yielding the asymptotic m u l t i p l i c i t y

More generally, and taking into account scaling v i o l a t i o n s , we get

Referring to a comparison of hadronic events in e e annihilations and in currentnucleon reactions, the predictions of (6.14,15) are obvious: same height of the rapidity plateau, as measured at YCMS = 0 (e+e-) and at
-
YBREIT = 0 (IN), respectively; - for valence quark scattering, the total m u l t i p l i c i t i e s observed in the two reactions should be identical for same W, up to a small additive constant from a possible difference in quark and diquark fragmentation; - in IN reactions the total m u l t i p l i c i t y at fixed W increases with decreasing x, because then the relative contribution of the color octet part grows. Figure 6.19 shows dq/dy from vp reactions /164/ for 8 ~ W~ 16 GeV, compared to §
-
e e annihilations at W = vrs = 13 GeV /24/. The height of the charged-particle plateau, (dn/dy) ~ 2, is consistent. In Fig.6.20 the total m u l t i p l i c i t y measured in vp +

reactions /160,164/ is compared with data from e e annihilations (see Chap.2). Again the values agree surprisingly well, except at very low energies where the phase space available to fragments is significantly reduced in vp interactions due to the existence of a final state nucleon.

Spectator Fragmentation
Present data seem to be consistent with the hypothesis of approximate factorization and jet universality. In a certain sense lepton-nucleon reactions therefore don't +
-
give qualitatively new information on quark jets as compared to e e annihilations. Lepton-nucleon reactions, however, offer the unique possibility to study the fragmentation of compound quark states, such as diquarks. I t will be shown that the measurement of their fragmentation functions reveals information on the wave function and dynamics of multiparton states. Furthermore, once the fragmentation properties of multiquark systems are known, e.g., from vN reactions, the mechanisms of other deep inelastic phenomena like muon pair production in hadron-hadron inter-
91 actions can be reconstructed by studying the quark contents of the spectators l e f t over after the hard process. A spectator system can be described by its flavor content, i t s color state, i t s mass, and by the degree of coherence of i t s wave function. Table 6.2 gives a l i s t of possible spectators in charged current neutrino-nucleon interactions.

The spectator is thus a much more complex object than a single active quark. To reduce the number of variables, we shall assume the following simplifications based on our knowledge on quark jets. First, the studies of QCD jets presented in Chap.5 have shown that the fragmentation function of a system consisting of incoherent components can be represented as the incoherent sum of their fragmentation functions, at least as far as fast (x >> 0) fragments are concerned. Second, we shall assume that factorization holds here as well. That means the distribution of fast fragments depends only on the flavor contents of the spectator, whereas i t s color contents influences the plateau region. We are now ready to define the spectator fragmentation function bh(z) which refers
to the decay of a coherent parton system. We use a reference frame where the
i n i t i a l nucleon has a large momentum PO" Since the maximummomentum available to fragments is P"MAX ~ PO( l - x ) ' the natural scaling variable is z = p,,/[po(1-x)]. In
the cms, we have z ~ -x F, with x F defined in the usual way as 2p,,/W.
92
Do we expect scaling to hold for spectator fragmentation? The picture of asympt o t i c freedom, together with the diagrams of Fig.6.1 suggest that the spectator completely ignores the hard process. The energy used to build up the preconfinement plateau is radiated by the active quark; the color charge of the spectator participates only in the f i n a l confining step at fixed Q~. Does this imply that the spectator fragmentation function is independent of Q2? In f a c t , a Q2 dependence of spectator fragmentation arises in a rather i n d i r e c t , process dependent way as can be seen from Fig.6.6b. The incoming proton dissociates into the active quark at x' and the spectator at ( 1 - x ' ) . The active quark radiates an energy fraction ( x ' - x ) and is then h i t by the hard probe. Therefore, the maximum momentum f r a c t i o n of spectator fragments is ( 1 , x ' ) and not ( l - x ) as naively expected. Since the amount of radiation ( x ' - x ) increases with increasing Q2, the spect a t o r fragmentation function D(z) shrinks with increasing Q2 and the p a r t i c l e dens i t y at low z increases. Q u a l i t a t i v e l y these effects of scale breaking equal those observed in quark fragmentation; q u a n t i t a t i v e l y they d i f f e r and depend on x as well as on Q2. This difference of the perturbative j e t structures in e+e- and in IN reactions has been emphasized by various authors /181-184/. In r e a l i t y , however, these differences are small compared to nonperturbative e f f e c t s , at least at present values of Q2 and W. This is evident from Fig.6.22 where +
i
the d i s t r i b u t i o n of sphericity is compared for e e events and for IN reactions in two bins of W. The d i s t r i b u t i o n s agree within the error bars. Therefore, we feel that in the following discussion scale breaking effects can be neglected without i n t r o ducing much bias. Let us now consider the fragmentation of the coherent part of the spectator. Because i t s decay is governed by s o f t , c o l l e c t i v e processes, one may ask i f the perturbative quark-parton model or, more generally, the concept of individual quarks may be applied. Consider the decay of the spectator (mass ms ) into a parton b and a core of mass mx. Let z be the fractional momentum of b and p~ i t s transverse momentum. From simple kinematics we get 2 2 2 P~+Zmx Pb = - - ~ +

I f the core z contains valence constituents of the spectator, i t s mass should be of the order O(GeV) /189-191/. That means, however, that for z § I the active parton is f a r o f f s h e l l . A fragmentation which contains this parton thus actually tests the parton structure at large Q2 and the application of the perturbative parton concept appears to be j u s t i f i e d /192/. To conclude: although spectator fragmenta-
93 t i o n is b a s i c a l l y a soft process, the quantum numbers of fast fragments should ref l e c t the constituent structure of the spectator. Unfortunately, experimental data at s u f f i c i e n t l y high Q2 and W suited to test these ideas are rare. Figure 6.23 shows the x F d i s t r i b u t i o n of p o s i t i v e and negat i v e fragments observed in ~p reactions in the 15 f t bubble chamber /160/ f o r events with W > 4 GeV and x > 0.05, and with typical Q2 of the order of 2-10 GeV2. Similar results have been reported by BEBC /164/. In Figo6.23 target fragments populate the region x F §
For comparison, the d i s t r i b u t i o n s observed in the proton fragmen+

The agreement between data and the simple model is s u r p r i s i n g l y good, demonstrating once more that at those energies, j e t physics is s t i l l
governed mainly by phase

Nevertheless, the f o l l o w i n g facts have to be explained by fragmentation models. + - The spectrum of p o s i t i v e pions agrees with that obtained from normal ~ p or pp i n t e r a c t i o n s at s i m i l a r energies.

However, most of t h i s second e f f e c t , i f not a l l , may be accounted f o r by charge conservation. - The production of fast protons is suppressed compared to normal i n e l a s t i c i n t e r actions. Various models have been proposed to describe the fragmentation of multiquark systems, such as generalizations of the FF model /186/, multicomponent fusion models /187/, etc. We shall discuss two models which r e l y on a minimum number of a d d i t i o nal assumptions, are most commonly accepted and well documented, and have proven useful f o r the description of normal i n e l a s t i c reactions: the quark recombination model /14/ and the dimensional counting rules /188,193/.

The Quark Recombination Model (QRM)
The quark recombination model is based on a recent observation by OCHS /13/ that the x F distributions of fast mesons produced in proton-proton collisions closely resemble the x distributions of quarks known from deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering.
I f these mesons were produced from fast quarks by fragmentation, as
in e+e- annihilations,
the meson spectra would f a l l much more steeply in x F than
is observed, since one would have to convolute the quark fragmentation function over the probability d i s t r i b u t i o n for quarks in a proton. This observation led GOLDBERG/194/ and later DAS and HWA /14/ to propose that fast mesons are produced in hadronic reactions by the recombination of valence and sea quarks, at Xq and x~, respectively, into a meson q~ at xM = Xq+X~. Thus the production of fast mesons measures the combined probability G(Xq,X6)/(XqX~).. of f i n ding two quarks in the wave function of the proton: E d3OM dp3
dx
f
dxq ___9_qG(Xq,X~) R(XM,Xq,X~) Xq x~
(6.17)
where ~ is the total nondiffractive cross section and R is a recombination function which parametrizes the fusion process. R can be decomposed into a presumably scale invariant two body piece and a many body piece
R(XM'Xq'X~) :
R^x[qX ' q~ ](x-Xzxl
MXMJ m q-X-)+Rq'(XM,Xq,x~)
(6.18)
Because of the difficulty of many body recombination, R' is assumed to be negligible except for xM very close to I where it gives rise to Regge behavior. This is visualized by a "competition" argument /195/: fast hadrons are produced after the rapidity plateau of x ~ 0 has been built up /80/. At that time, however, most of the hard gluons which could participate in a multibody recombination will already be "used" by other fragments, i.e., will have turned into quark pairs feeding the particle production at low x, R2(Xq,X ~). can be determined from plausibility arguments. One expects recombination to be of short range in rapidity; thus, R2 will be zero for IYq-Y~I >> I. In addition it seems natural to assume that the probability of two quarks at Xq,X~ to recombine into a meson at xM is proportional to the probability of finding the two valence quarks of a meson at xM at x~ and Xq. That means
R2(Cq,C~) = G~(~q,C~)/(CqC~)
(6.19)
96 with ~q = Xq/XM and G being the two-valence-quark structure function of the pion. Equation (6.19) can be f u l f i l l e d
by choosing
R2(Kq,~ ~) = ~ q ~
(6.20)
Equation (6.20) yields a single-quark structure function of the pion
G(Xq) x ]ll-Xq)
(6.21)
q in approximate agreement with experiments /196/. Probability conservation requires ~ 4 /197/ in (6.20). In practice, OM is nearly independent of the specific choice of R2, once the cond i t i o n of short range recombination is obeyed /198/. So f a r the discussion has been quite general. The QRM seems to be a sort of d i f ferent phrasing of the fragmentation model discussed in Chap.4. The d i s t i n c t i o n is that here the attention is centered on the recombination of quarks whose d i s t r i b u tions are given a p r i o r i , whereas the other model mainly deals with the creation of the quark cloud and treats recombination into mesons as a secondary process. The new and basic assumption of the QRM concerns the quark d i s t r i b u t i o n functions G(x). Since the production of f a s t fragments involves large momentum transfers, the G(x) are assumed to be identical to the structure functions measured in deep inelast i c interactions. In contrast to the quark fragmentation models, the fast active quark doesn't spend energy to build up a parton sea at low x, since t h i s sea is a l ready "present" in the incident nucleon and i t s e f f e c t is contained in the structure functions. In the case of proton-proton interactions where sea-antiquarks are concentrated at low x, the two-quark d i s t r i b u t i o n function can be approximated as /197/

Using the FF parametrization of parton structure functions /199/ the QRM describes extremely well the cross sections for ~• and K+ production by proton beams for 0.5 ~ xM ~ 0.9 /14,197/. With less theoretical j u s t i f a c t i o n , the QRM can be extended to lower values of xM, including the production of K- in proton-proton interactions via recombination of two sea quarks /201/. At low xM, however, d i f f i c u l t i e s arise due to hadron production by resonance decays. At high x, x ~ 0.4, resonance contributions to the inclusive spectra were shown to be negligible both experimentally /202/ and theoretic a l l y /203/. Though the QRM gives a good description of the shape of inclusive p a r t i c l e spect r a , the absolute magnitudes of the cross sections turn out to be considerably small e r than the data, when calculated for the standard amount of sea quarks. To f i t
the
data, the momentum fraction carried by the quark sea of the nucleon has to be 20 to 50% /14,197,200/. Taking into account that the quark-antiquark system has to be a spin-O color s i n g l e t would increase the required number of sea quarks by another order of magnitude /195/. The enhancement of the sea is usually explained by the following mechanism /195, 200/. In an undisturbed hadron, sea quarks and gluons form an equilibrium state. During the interaction, this equilibrium is disturbed since quark-antiquark pairs "condense" into mesons. Consequently, new quark pairs are created and the process repeats u n t i l a l l the gluons are used. Therefore, the momentum fraction carried by the e f f e c t i v e sea should be of the order of 50% or somewhat less, depending on the time scales governing the quark-gluon equilibrium and the recombination mechanism. F i n a l l y , i t is not unnatural to assume that the spin and color states of the f i n a l mesons w i l l be adjusted by emission and absorption of soft gluons without modifying the z d i s t r i b u t i o n of the mesons. The ideas nicely dovetail with the p r o b a b i l i s t i c quark model approach to proton fragmentation by POKORSKI and Van HOVE /204-206/. They assume that in hadronic coll i s i o n s the gluon clouds of the hadrons interact and generate the r a p i d i t y plateau, whereas the incident valence quarks f l y through without change of momentum and recombine to leading baryons and fast mesons.

98 The QRM has been applied to deep inelastic reactions by De GRAND et al. /201,207/. The situation is only s l i g h t l y more complicated in this case; here one measures the combined probability for seeing three quarks (Fig.6.24) in the wave function of the proton.

where qi is the charge of the i th quark and z is the fraction of the recoiling core's momentum (in an i n f i n i t e momentum frame) carried off by the meson. The cross section is normalized by the total cross section at fixed Bjorken x, i . e . , i t describes the number of mesons per event. Similar expressions hold for neutrino-nucleon scattering. Now to arrive at quantitative predictions, one has to make models for the multiquark distributions in the target. The simplest model of this type is the KUTI-WEISSKOPF model /208/ which is simply the uncorrelated j e t model (Chap.3) applied to partons in a nucleon. In analogy to (3.1) the "transition probability" for a proton into a Fock state containing three valence quarks and N sea partons is given by

Equation (6.25) is written f o r one type of sea partons, i t s generalization to n quark f l a v o r s and gluons is obvious. The coupling constant K determines the mean number of sea partons. The matrix elements f are chosen such that the inclusive quark d i s t r i b u t i o n s , obtained from (6.25) by integrating over the N+2 unseen partons and by summing over the N = 0 to N = ~ Fock states, reproduce the experimental d i s t r i b u t i o n s .

Let us now specify the predictions of the QRM for vp scattering (Fig.6.23). The basic features can be derived without e x p l i c i t calculation. In Kuti-Weisskopf models the two quark wave functions factorize approximately, G(Xl,X2) ~ G(xI)G
x[ l
(6.26)
Taking x I as the x of the quark being scattered, x2/(1-x I ) is identical to the scal i n g variable z describing the fragmentation of the spectator. That means the dist r i b u t i o n of a valence quark of the spectator is identical to i t s d i s t r i b u t i o n in the i n i t i a l
proton, i f written in the correct scaling variable.
For vp interactions at very low x, the current w i l l mostly scatter o f f a sea quark, and the spectator contains a l l three i n i t i a l
valence quarks. As a r e s u l t of
(6.26) the d i s t r i b u t i o n of fast mesonic fragments should be identical to that observed in normal i n e l a s t i c interactions. Furthermore, the d i s t r i b u t i o n of ~+ and ~- w i l l be s i m i l a r , except for a normalization factor of 2 since there are two uquarks, and a factor ( l - x ) r e f l e c t i n g the dominance of u-quarks at large x. As the x of the scattered quark increases, the neutrino w i l l mostly interact with the dquark. Therefore, the 7+ d i s t r i b u t i o n w i l l remain unaffected, whereas the ~- dist r i b u t i o n steepens since a ~- can no longer be produced by recombination of a valence quark with a sea parton. The pion and kaon spectra resulting from the exact evaluation of (6.24) /201/ are shown in Figs.6.25,26 for charged current ~p interactions. The curves represent the lorentz invariant cross section (2/~W)Idp~ Ed3o/dp3, and the predictions are extended to low x F using empirical corrections and sea enhancement factors /201/. The normalization has been adjusted to an electroproduction experiment at lower energies /176/. In Fig.6.26 the r a t i o of ~+ to ~- production is compared for various Bjorken x, nicely demonstrating the t r a n s i t i o n from sea quark scattering (low x) to valence quark scattering ("high" x). The corresponding spectra for 5p scattering are shown in Figs.6.27,28 including data from a 5 scattering experiment at lower energies. Since in the l a t t e r case the spectator always contains both u- and d-quarks, the spectra of ~+ and ~- are s i m i l a r . As f a r as baryon production is concerned, the predictions of the QRM are rather ambiguous since there are various competing production mechanisms. For scattering of a sea quark at low x, the p o s s i b i l i t i e s are depicted in Fig.6.29a-d. The two extrema are the recombination of a l l valence quarks to a baryon and the recombination of the valence quarks into three mesons with the baryon being formed by the sea quarks l e f t over. The corresponding graphs for spectators containing two valence

quarks of the i n i t i a l
proton are shown in Fig.6.29e-g. Obviously, for z § I , the
graphs with the maximum number of valence quark lines collected in the baryon w i l l dominate. The r e l a t i v e p r o b a b i l i t i e s can be estimated by noticing that the processes shown in Fig.6.29a are presumably identical to those describing proton fragmentation in normal proton-proton interactions. An analysis of such interactions in terms of the graphs shown above is reported in /206/. I t is stated that the p r o b a b i l i t y T of two incident valence lines emerging in a single hadron is about 0.65. Assuming that T has an universal value for a l l "soft" hadronic processes /206/, we are now able to predict the shape of proton spectra in the spectator fragmentation region. For sea quark scattering, the terms dominant at large z (Fig.6.29a,b) generate T2 and (2T)/2 protons per event, in the mean. The factor I/2 in Fig.6.29b arises since roughly half of baryons w i l l be neutrons. For valence quark scattering, Fig.6.29e dominates at high z, yielding an integral number of T/2 protons per event. The QRM can be easily generalized to this type of recombination y i e l d i n g ,

The proton d i s t r i b u t i o n seems to drop s l i g h t l y too fast as IXFl + I. However, one should note that for the mean W of t h i s data, the kinematical l i m i t f o r proton production is x F = -0.90 to -0.95, so at least the data point at highest -x F appears somewhat questionable. Secondly, the excess at high x may be due to a small remaining fraction of d i f f r a c t i v e events. This is supported by the BEBC data (Fig.6.31) which indicates that the proton cross section drops at xF § -I as Q2 increases.

Dimensional Counting Rules
A second and widely used approach to describe the fragmentation of multiparton systems is based on dimensional counting techniques /209-213/. The dimensional counting rules (DCR) developed by GUNION /214/, BLANKENBECLER and BRODSKY/215/, FARRAR /216/, and BLANKENBECLERet a l . /217/ refer to the inclusive spectra of the fragment a in the fragmentation process A + a+X

104 with z = pa/PA and m = 2nx-1, where nx is the minimum number of quarks l e f t behind in X. Equation (6.30) can be derived using the Bethe-Salpeter equation to describe an n-quark bound state /201,212,215/. I f such a state decays into a p a r t i c l e a and nx residual quarks, the mean momenta of the residual quarks go to zero as ( l - z ) for z § I . This gives rise to a phase spacelike suppression factor (1-z)nx in the trans i t i o n amplitude, or (1-z)2nx in the decay p r o b a b i l i t y . In the overall expression, one factor ( l - z ) is cancelled by an energy denominator r e f e r r i n g to the core energy. The spectrum of fragments a is then given by d~

with f i being the p r o b a b i l i t y that i quarks are l e f t behind. Equation (6.31) holds only for 1-z small, e.g., z ~ 0.5 /201,216/. In this l i m i t , {a w i l l be dominated by the leading term shown in (6.30). There are basic differences between the DCR ansatz and the QRM /201/. In the counting rule scheme, no d i s t i n c t i o n is made between sea and valence quarks of the incident p a r t i c l e s ; both are treated on equal footing and with identical matrix elements. The d i f f e r e n t shape of valence quark structure functions arises from the summation over the d i f f e r e n t Fock states. In each of these states valence quarks are present, whereas the mean number of sea quarks equivalent to the r e l a t i v e importance of higher Fock states is small. Consequently, for semi-inclusive deep ine l a s t i c scattering we assume the nucleon breaks up into a quark c (which is struck by the current) and a core A of nA quarks. This core then breaks up into a meson a and a r e c o i l i n g core of nx quarks. Thus, we get in analogy to (6.31)

This implies, however, that between the hard scattering and the fragmentation the quark core A again reaches an equilibrium state. Note that in (6.31,32) the power in ( l - z ) may increase by one unit due to spin effects /212,218/. Let me demonstrate the application of DCR in a few examples.

The discrepancy between the prediction Du § ( l - z ) and the experimental results, close to ( l - z ) 2, can be explained by spin effects. The predicted suppression factor for unfavored decays, ( l - z ) 4, however, is in clear disagreement with the observed behavior ( l - z ) . A possible explanation is that DCR does not include effects such as resonance production. Favored production of p mesons by an u-quark, followed +

by a decay into ~ ~ , yields a 7- spectrum suppressed j u s t by ( l - z ) as compared to the p spectrum. These modes have to be taken into account when applying DCR. They are especially important in quark j e t s where the r a t i o of vector meson to scalar meson production is of the order of I /87/.

Figures 6.25-28 show these curves together with the QRM predictions; a comparison with vp data is included in Fig.6.30. In the l a s t case, the proton cross section has been normalized to give 0.5 protons per event. The pion spectra are a r b i t r a r i l y normalized, however, the same normalization constant is used f o r both ~+ and 7spectra (although this is not necessarily required by DCR). Except for the proton spectra at high IXFl, the agreement with data is excellent. Unfortunately, the fact that both QRM and DCR roughly agree with data does not help to shed l i g h t on the underlying fragmentation mechanism. The two models are even contradictory. The QRM assumes that the f i n a l mesons r e f l e c t the quark d i s t r i bution immediately a f t e r the interaction, whereas the interpretation of the DCR requires the spectator partons to reach a new equilibrium state. We shall return to this point in Chap.7. Let me now b r i e f l y go through a few recent extensions of DCR. The influence of spin effects has been c l a r i f i e d in a recent work by BRODSKY /219/. I f the h e l i c i t i e s of parent and fragment d i f f e r by Ah, an additional factor ( l - z ) 21Ahl'' arises in d~/dz. This correction improves the agreement with experiment for the favored quark fragmentation into mesons. Furthermore, one has to ask what scale invariant counting rules mean in a world wbere scaling seems to be violated at least as f a r as structure functions are concerned. I t has been shown by FRAZER and GUNION /220/ that using the DCR approach via the Bethe-Salpeter equation reproduces the A l t a n e l l i - P a r i s i equations. A heur i s t i c picture to t h i s is given in the model of scale breaking by Kogut and Susskind (Chap.5). Increasing Q2 y i e l d s an improved resolution of the system under study so that e f f e c t i v e l y the system appears to have more constituents, resulting in a steepening of the structure and fragmentation functions zD(z) ~ (1-z)2neff (Q2)-I
(6.36)
107 Additional violations of scaling, which appear in systems with an even number of constituents and vanish like I/Q 2, have been discussed by VAINSHTAIN and ZACHAROV
/218/, F i n a l l y , the question of the time scales involved in parton fragmentation has been investigated by GUNION /221/. As previously mentioned, there seems to be a disagreement between the requirement of an intermediate equilibrium state in DCR and the fact that p a r t i c l e production at x close to I involves o f f shell partons (6.16) resulting in short decay times (measured in the rest system of the fast fragment). Since this process w i l l contain large momentum transfers, the quark pairs required for the fragmentation can be created in a p o i n t l i k e manner during the decay (Fig.6.33a). These quarks do not participate in the momentum sharing among partons belonging to the n-quark Fock state of the parent system, the suppression per quark l i n e l e f t over is smaller than in the original DCR. Using these " p o i n t l i k e " counting rules one obtains D~(z) - ( l - z ) 2nx+npl-1
(6.37)
where nx is the number of those quarks in X which are completely unaffected by the decay, and npl is the number of quarks in X which participate in a hard creation process. In the case of ~p scattering at not too small x, one obtains now (Fig. 6.33b-d) D~+ ~ ( l - z ) 3 UU

The x dependence in (6.38) has been calculated assuming that the emission of a fast fragment immediately follows the hard scattering, resulting in quark distributions which are identical to those in the incident proton. To derive multiquark distributions, factorization in the sense of (6.26) was used. Within the limited s t a t i s t i c s available and due to the restricted x range for negative fragments, "standard" and "pointlike" counting rules cannot yet be distinguished experimentally.
6.7
The Three Gluon Decay o f the T
Up to now we restricted our attention to parton systems where, in a suited reference frame, the momenta of color sources are more or less collinear. The principles of factorization and universality were used to describe the fragmentation of these systems. QRM and DCR provide convenient, i f not yet f u l l y understood parametrizations of the fragmentation functions of multiquark systems. There is no ambiguity of choosing the "best" reference frame for the description of the fragmentation, except for longitudinal boosts. The situation changes drastically as soon as three or more color sources are distributed in space. As an example, we shall discuss the decays of heavy quark-antiquark bound states like the T or the T'. These mesons were discovered /222/ as broad enhancements in the mass spectrum of muon pairs produced in proton-nucleus collisions. The i n t e r pretation as bound states of a new quark type has been confirmed by experiments at the e§ - storage rings of DORIS /223-226/ and CESR/227,228/. The narrow decay width of the T, F ~ 40 keY /229/, implies that the quarks in the T carry a new conserved flavor, called bottom, and that the T mass is below the threshold for production of naked bottom. Allowed decay modes are annihilations into an odd number of strong, electromagnetic, or weak vector bosons. Relevant decays are the annihilations into a virtual photon, F ~ O(m), and the annihilation into the simplest color singlet formed of an odd number of gluons, F ~ O(a~) (Fig.6.34). Modes with more than three gluons are suppressed since ~s(M~)/~ < I. In principle the T may also decay into a large number of soft gluons, which correspondingly have

109 large couplings. This process is generally assumed to be negligible /230-232/ as those gluons would have a wavelength large compared to the size of the T. Therefore, the T acts effectively as a color singlet and decouples. Since ms is very large compared to a, the three-gluon decay of the T essentially w i l l saturate the hadronic cross section /233/. The hadronic decays of the T offer the opportunity to study decay properties of noncollinear arrangements of basic color sources; in parallel we may hope to get further insight into the way a gluon fragments. The matrix element for the decay has been calculated by various authors /234-239/

How do these gluons transform into hadrons? As a f i r s t
step, use the picture that
colored objects at large distances from each other build up tubes of color f i e l d s . In the case of two partons the tube is obviously along the line connecting them, and the j e t axis w i l l coincide with this line. For three partons in a noncollinear configuration,
the color f i e l d tubes emanating from the partons have to join somehow
110 in order to form a color s i n g l e t . I t seems natural to assume that the system is in the e n e r g e t i c a l l y most favorable state with a minimum of energy stored in the color field. The actual configuration depends on the properties of the color s t r i n g s , espec i a l l y on t h e i r tension which is defined by the energy per u n i t length at rest. In the MIT bag model the tension of an octet or gluon tube is r : 3/2 times bigger than that of a t r i p l e t tube /240/, l a t t i c e gauge theories predict r > 2 /241/. In the l a t t e r case, i t is more favorable f o r an octet or gluon to s p l i t into t r i p l e t tubes. For the T decay, possible configurations of f l u x tubes are shown in Fig.6.37. In case of r < 2, the octet tubes j o i n in the middle, and a "color center frame" can be defined as that frame where the tensions of the three strings are in equil i b r i u m /242/. In the center of the color frame, the gluons are emitted with angles of 60o r e l a t i v e to each other /242/. For r ~ 2 the octet s p l i t up and the gluons are connected by three t r i p l e t tubes /241,242/. Corresponding diagrams are obtained f o r qqg states r e s u l t i n g from e+e - annihil a t i o n s (Fig.6.38). In the l i m i t r ~ 2, the gluon may be i d e n t i f i e d as a "kink" in the t r i p l e t s t r i n g j o i n i n g the quarks. This i n t e r p r e t a t i o n of a gluon has been discussed extensively in /243/. I t offers a bridge to topological models /174/ where gluons do not appear e x p l i c i t l y . From this point of view, one may even think of the three gluon intermediate state in the T decay as a closed t r i p l e t tube with three kinks!

111 In analogy to the Schwinger model (Sect.4.2), the hadron d i s t r i b u t i o n may be calculated as the four-dimensional Fourier transform of the color f i e l d strength (4.10). Equivalently, we may say that the color tubes decay into hadrons with l i m i t e d momentum transverse to the c o l o r - a n t i c o l o r axis rather than to the j e t axis in the overa l l cms. In the f o l l o w i n g , we shall refer to three models for the T decay: Model I :
Each gluon fragments as a color octet, and the process is described in the overall cms. I f a gluon has a momentum p, an o c t e t - a n t i o c t e t j e t is generated with an i n v a r i a n t mass Msx~ = 2p, and one h a l f of i t is taken as the gluon j e t . This straightforward picture has been used by many authors /234,235,237/.
Model I I :
Assume r ~ 2. The o c t e t - o c t e t s t r i n g s j o i n symmetrically in the center of color frame. Gluon fragmentation is described as above, but in the center of color frame.
Model I I I :
Assume r ~ 2. Then the octet strings s p l i t into three t r i p l e t
strings,
the fragmentation of each is described in i t s own center of mass frame. The t r i p l e t
strings are treated as quark-antiquark j e t s , the "decay" of
the gluon into quarks being described by the usual QCD cross section. In models I I and I I I ,
the lorentz transformation to the overall cms w i l l lead to
an increase of the mean transverse momentum squared with respect to the new j e t axis in the cms and w i l l modify the d i s t r i b u t i o n of energy f l u x /244/. However, the f a c t o r i z a t i o n property (6.6) w i l l s t i l l

At this place i t should be pointed out that T decays w i l l not show a pronounced three j e t structure, since the mean energy per j e t , <E> ~ 3 GeV, is j u s t at the threshold where i t is possible to recognize a j e t structure on a s t a t i s t i c a l

The agreement is f a i r l y good, X2 = 1.4/NDF. T decays are d e f i n i t i v e l y d i f f e r e n t 2 from normal t w o - j e t events, a f i t in terms of two-jet models gives • = 22/NDF. The DASP I I group pointed out that i f the T decays into three gluons, the decay properties of these gluons are i d e n t i c a l to those of quarks. A change of the fragmentation function from
Dg(Z) = Dq(Z) to Dg(Z) ~ (1-Z)Dq(Z), as predicted by asymp-
t o t i c QCD, completely spoils the agreement. S i m i l a r l y , a s i g n i f i c a n t change in the mean transverse momentum with respect to the j e t axis can be excluded.

Recent and very detailed studies of the hadr6n distribution from T decays by the PLUTO /248/ and DHHM/246/ groups strongly support this picture of a three-jet decay of the T. This is demonstrated by a three-jet analysis using the t r i p l i c i t y method /249/ as performed by the PLUTO group. The t r i p l i c i t y method assigns three j e t axes to each event by grouping the detected particles into three disjunct groups in a way as to maximize the sum of the momenta of the jets. Let x I ~ x2 ~ x3 be the normalized j e t momenta and eI ~ 02 ~ 03 the angles between the jets. Figure 6.44 shows the experimental distributions of thrust, x I , x3, 01 , and 03 for direct T decays and for two-jet events from the continuum /248/. Included are Monte Carlo model predictions for two-jet, three-jet and phase-space like events. Consider f i r s t the two-jet data off resonance. An attempt to assign three j e t axes to a two-jet event w i l l lead to one j e t axis coinciding with one of the jets, and the two other axes pointed in opposite directions. Consequently, x I is peaked close to I , and 83 is close to 1800. The distribution in x3 should be rather f l a t , since the momentum of one original j e t is shared among two reconstructed jets, and the angle between these jets, 81 should be small. This is exactly what is observed. For direct T decays, 03 decreases and 01 increases, proving that i t is reasonable to assign three distinct axes. Data are in good agreement with the three-gluon decay model (which assumes that gluon jets behave like quark j e t s ) ; a description by pure phase space seems to be ruled out. I t has been pointed out that the spin of the three decay partons can be determined from the angular distribution of the axis of the fastest j e t with respect to the beam axis /232/. In the l i m i t x I § I , the d i s t r i b u t i o n of the angle 0 between the event axis and the beam d i r e c t i o n is given by
d~/dcosO ~ I + a cos2e
(6.46)
with a ~

a ~ -I f o r spin 0 partons.
Averaged over a l l values of x I , one predicts a ~ 0.39 /232/ for spin I partons and a < 0 for spin 0 partons. The distribution of the sphericity axis of direct T decays is shown in Fig.6.45 as measured by the PLUTO and DHHMdetectors. Taking into account that the DHHMdetector does not allow a precise measurement of the momenta of fast charged hadrons and thus has the tendency to smear the distribution towards isotropy, the spin I assignment seems to be s l i g h t l y favored.

Let me b r i e f l y discuss another prediction from QCD. Since the gluon couples to all quark species with roughly the same strength, in contrast to a virtual

the production of strange quarks should be enhanced. However, as pointed out in Chap.5, the e f f e c t i v e change w i l l be small. Figure 6.41 demonstrates that in fact
119 no abnormal production of charged kaons is observed on the T. In Fig.6.46 the cross section for neutral kaon production is compared to the total cross section. The relative increase on the T is s t a t i s t i c a l l y

Summary
The fragmentation of systems containing more than two elementary color sources and color sources composed of two or more quarks, have been studied. As far as quark j e t s produced in lepton-nucleon interactions are concerned, the principles of scaling, factorization
(or environmental independence), and univer-
s a l i t y hold approximately and can be used to relate quark j e t s from d i f f e r e n t sources and energies. Small violations of scaling and factorization are observed and agree q u a l i t a t i v e l y with QCD predictions when 0(~ S) terms are taken into account. However, regarding the low mean W, i t seems more l i k e l y that these effects correspond to the +
-
"scale breaking" seen in e e annihilations at very low energies and result from phase space effects due to the nonnegligible particle masses. The fragmentation of the multiquark spectator systems in IN interactions is shown to be described by quark counting rules or by a quark recombination model. Let me now summarize what we ]earned from the study of T decays. The dominance of a three-parton decay mode, probably with spin I partons, seems to be established. Although present data have a limited s t a t i s t i c a l
accuracy, there seems to be a dis-
agreement between the expected properties of gluon jets and the observed fragmentation modes which are identical to those of quarks, especially as far as m u l t i p l i c i -
120 t i e s are concerned. However, parton fragmentation at these energies is expected to be strongly influenced by phase space effects. Because of these problems, i t is hard to draw d e f i n i t e conclusions on the dynamics of systems with noncollinear col o r sources. Only models where the gluon s p l i t s up into two incoherent quark jets seem to be excluded. Assuming that the decay partons of the T fragment l i k e quarks, data are consistent with f a c t o r i z a t i o n .
7. Jets in Hadron-Hadron Interactions with Particles of Large Transverse Momentum

-
Both in e e annihilations and in lepton-nucleon scattering j e t s are produced since a parton interacts with a current of large Q~ The four-momentum transfer is given by the change in momentum of the lepton and is well defined experimentally (Fig.7.1a). In close analogy, one predicts the interactions of two partons inside two c o l l i d i n g hadrons via the exchange of a vector boson /11/ simply by replacing the lepton at the upper vertex in Fig.7.1a by another quark (Fig.7.1b). The main difference is that the current now may be a gluon as well.

Fig.7.1. Quark diagrams for (a) deep inelastic lepton-nucleon interactions; (b) quark elastic scattering in proton-proton collisions
As a r e s u l t of the hard scattering, four color sources are distributed in the plane defined by the c o l l i s i o n axis of the incoming hadrons and by the three-momentum component of the current. In general, the two active partons w i l l be scattered at large angles in the overall cms, and the spectator systems w i l l move along the directions of the primary hadrons. When the color sources s t a r t to separate in space, f l u x tubes are b u i l t up which in turn "decay" and form j e t s . From our present knowledge, the configuration of these f l u x tubes cannot be calculated. I t depends on the kinematics of the interaction and
122 on the specific tensions of color octet and t r i p l e t strings. In addition, one may have the p o s s i b i l i t y to group the color sources into two colorless clusters /242/. I t seems natural to assume that the f l u x tubes are formed in a way as to minimize the energy stored in the f i e l d /241/. Figure 7.2 shows examples f o r the case of quark-quark scattering. Depending on the r a t i o r of the tensions of octet and t r i p l e t f l u x tubes, d i f f e r e n t configurations are favored. However, since the f i n a l d i s t r i b u t i o n of fast fragments depends only on the state of the color f i e l d in the proximity of the color charge and on the boost connecting the rest frame of the color charge and the cms, f r a c t o r i z a t i o n is s t i l l
expected to hold. The change of
the f i e l d for r ~ 2 concerns only those slow particles in regions of phase space where the four jets j o i n . The resulting configuration consists of two j e t s containing p a r t i c l e s with large transverse momentum with respect to the c o l l i s i o n axis and of two j e t s of low p~ p a r t i c l e s (Fig,7.2d). At s u f f i c i e n t l y large p~, such processes should dominate the p a r t i c l e production in hadronic interactions /11/.

This prediction was confirmed in 1973 by three experiments which studied protonproton interactions at the CERN-ISR /8-10/.

Can one obtain further information on mechanisms of parton fragmentation and confinement, and is there a link between these events and normal inelastic hadronhadron interactions where only low p~ particles are produced?
The experimental investigation of events with high p. particles (in the following we consider the high p. regime as starting at p. around 2 GeV/c) is complicated by the complexity of the multijet final state. In each j e t , the bulk of particles produced w i l l have longitudinal momenta which are comparable to their momenta transverse to the j e t axis. These particles are no longer aligned along the j e t axis and, in general, cannot be attributed to the specific j e t . Consequently, the momentum transfer q is no longer directly accessable to the experiment in contrast to IN charged current interactions. The following discussion is concentrated on the last two of the questions mentioned above, which cannot be treated independently of each other. This chapter is subdivided as follows. The large variety of experiments makes i t necessary to discuss the main types of experiments9 This w i l l be done in the remainder of the introduction. In Sect.7.1 the predictions of the parton model are discussed on a very elementary level. In Sect.7.2 the main features of high p~ events are compared with patton model predictions9 The properties of the jets at high p. and of the spectator fragmentation are discussed in detail in Sects.7.3,4, respectively.
124
The data discussed in Sects.7.3,4 w i l l mainly come from proton-proton interactions at the highest ISR energies, since there a reliable separation of the jets starts to be possible. In addition, the amount of final state interactions is minimized in proton-proton interactions as compared to hadron-nucleus collisions. To avoid additional complications, the discussion of j e t properties w i l l be restricted to jets produced in hadron-hadron collisions. However, with the advent of more detailed and precise data, j e t production off nuclei w i l l be an important tool in studying the development of jets, because interaction with other nucleons tests the j e t structure at early stages of confinement /250,251/. Experiments investigating events with particles of large p~ can be grouped into four main categories: I)
Experiments measuring inclusive single particle cross sections at highest p~ and 8 , with the aim of studying parton-parton interactions in the asymptotic region where corrections due to masses, f i n i t e transverse momenta, and higher twists are negligible. The tiny cross section requires large aperture spectroo' meters, which are usually realized by lead glass walls detecting high p~ ~ s.
II)
Experiments comparing large p~ cross sections for different particle species and different beam or target types. Particle ratios at large p~ reflect the quantum numbers of the scattered partons and thus help to pin down the basic scattering mechanism. Such experiments commonly use magnetic spectrometers of very limited acceptance.
I l l ) Experiments studying correlations between particles in events with a large p~ secondary. Most of the results quoted in the following discussion come from this kind of experiment which can be set up in very different ways ranging from two small aperture spectrometers to 4~ detectors. Since most of the recent detectors of type I) are equipped with a vertex spectrometer, they contribute to this f i e l d as well. Experiments of type I) to I l l ) use a large p~, single-particle trigger. Their a b i l i t y to measure parton-parton cross sections is restricted by the fact that one has to unfold an a priori unknown parton fragmentation function. A more reliable way to "detect" a scattered parton is to measure the whole j e t , e.g., by determining the energy flux into a suited region of solid angle. IV)
Experiments measuring j e t cross sections. These experiments are equipped with calorimeters measuring the amount of energy emitted at large angles in the cms. Although in principle being superior to other types of experiments measuring patton cross sections, these experiments suffer from the fact that even at ISR energies jets are far from being pencillike and that a cut in solid angle is
125 a somewhat i n e f f i c i e n t way to collect particles from one j e t . Consequently, acceptance corrections are large, and there are ambiguities in interpreting the data. Table 7.1 gives a l i s t
of large p~ experiments, and summarizes t h e i r main characte-
ristics.

Within our approximation the single-particle spectrum has the same slope in p~ as the distribution of jets, however, the absolute yield is much smaller. For example, by choosing the standard quark fragmentation function with m ~ 2-3, L << I and T = O, one gets ratios of the order 10-2 . This fact is easy to explain. For a large k and a given ph, i t is less "expensive" to pick up a hadron at z ~ I from a j e t with p~ ; p! than to use a slow fragment of a parton at very large p . As k increases, the mean z of the trigger hadron approaches I

and oh drops. Experiments triggered on a single hadron at large p~ thus select a special type of parent j e t s , those consisting essentially of one very fast fragment. This effect is known as the trigger bias /278,279/. Experiments triggered by jets of large p: are not subjected to this bias. However, a similar bias is introduced i f the solid angle covered by the j e t detector is comparable to the j e t size. Then the trigger condition enhances narrow, well collimated jets /273/.
129 Another important consequence of the trigger bias is that for a mixture of d i f ferent parent partons the species with the f l a t t e s t fragmentation function is favored by the single particle trigger condition. Of course, only the j e t containing the trigger particle is affected by the t r i g ger bias. The recoiling parton in the opposite azimuthal hemisphere decays unbiased within the limits imposed by energy-momentum conservation. The fragmentation of this second "away" j e t is usually described in terms of a variable x E referring to the h trigger momentum p~ h'/ h x E = p~ p~
(7.16)
where h' is a hadron in the away j e t . Neglecting transverse momenta in the parton h' fragmentation, x E is related to the "correct" scaling variable z referring to the momentum of the away j e t z

D(z) and D'(z) are fragmentation functions of the towards and the away jets, resprectively. Two points should be kept in mind. Since do/dx E depends both on D(z) and on the inclusive j e t cross section -d3~/dp3, scaling of the fragmentation functions does not necessarily imply scaling of do/dx E in x E, Furthermore, the dependence of do/dx E on the trigger-side fragmentation function D(z) may induce correlations between the towards and the away j e t . Compare, for example, events where +
scattered u- or d-quarks create ~- and K- trigger particles. Since DK f a l l s u,d steeper in z than Du,d, the mean momentum of the towards j e t is larger for the Ktrigger, and do/dx E is f l a t t e r . Care is needed not to confuse such kinematical effects with dynamical correlations due to the scattering mechanism i t s e l f . To complete this discussion let me quote the relations concerning the two spectator jets at low p . The energy available to the spectators is reduced when compared to the total cms energy, The sum of the energies or momenta of the spectator jets is
130 E' = r p' =
(cosh y+cosh y ' )
(7.19)
-m (sinh y+sinh X')
Hence, the usual Feynman variable 2p,,/r
is no longer suitable to describe the frag-
mentation of spectators. The most natural choice is to use a reduced energy Vs' for the system of the two spectator jets r
= (E,2_p,2) !/2
The appropriate scaling variable is then the reduced longitudinal momentum of a secondary in the spectator system /259/ x' = 2p,~//~'

The QCD Approach
In a hard scattering picture, the favored candidates for the active partons are quarks and gluons, t h e i r interactions governed by QCD. The basic ingredients of the model are shown in Figs.7.3-5. The main subprocesses are quark-quark, quarkgluon, and gluon-gluon scattering with the cross sections /280,281/ given by A

As factorization holds in QCD at the leading log level /146-148/, the parton structure functions and fragmentation functions are identical to those measured in lepton-nucleon reactions up to corrections O(ms) which mainly affect the d i s t r i b u t i o n of sea quarks. The Q2 evolution of G(x,Q 2) and D(z,Q 2) is governed by the A l t a r e l l i Parisi equations (5.23,30). However, the large mass scale Q2 characterizing the hard scattering is not uniquely determined in a leading log calculation. The naive choice Q2 = _~ is not f u l l y adequate to describe a quark-gluon compton e f f e c t , e.g. Forms used in the l i t e r a t u r e are /281-284/ A

in contrast to the naive expectation p4 (Fig.7.6) Whereas the d i s t r i b u t i o n of quarks in a nucleon is determined rather precisely from IN scattering experiments, the gluon density is accessable experimentally only through scaling violations in the distributions

134 Figure 7.7 shows a QCD prediction for the inclusive pion cross section at large angles for the reaction pp § ~+X, subdivided into d i f f e r e n t subprocesses. The calculation is in f a i r agreement with the data for p~ ~ 5 GeV/c. At lower p~ the theory f a l l s considerably below the data, indicating that additional scale breaking or higher t w i s t effects have to be taken into account. Such corrections could arise from a nonnegligible transverse momentum of partons in the nucleon or from a d d i t i o nal subprocesses involving nonelementary constituents with form factors, as are postulated by the constituent interchange model (CIM) /209,213,215,287-289/.
7.1o2
Parton Transverse Momentum
In the naive parton model, the partons ql and q2 move c o l l i n e a r with t h e i r parent hadrons hI and h2. There i s , however, considerable evidence, p a r t i c u l a r l y from d i lepton production experiments, that the partons can have a sizeable transverse momentum. I t has been pointed out that these effects are very important in large p~ calculations where the steeply f a l l i n g cross section is sensitive to the transverse configuration of the i n i t i a l
state partons /7,290,291/.
Although the q u a l i t a t i v e e f f e c t of parton transverse momentum is f a i r l y well understood (triggering on a large p~ hadron favors configurations where both the act i v e constituents move in the transverse direction of the t r i g g e r hadron, thereby reducing the e f f e c t i v e t and enhancing the cross section), there is no common consensus as how to incorporate these effects into the calculation of cross section, and quantitative predictions show major discrepancies /282,283,292-295/. Two components contribute to the patton transverse momentum k : a primordial k inherent to the i n i t i a l
wave function, and a component created through hard brems-
strahlung during the interaction (Fig.7.8). Naively, one expects the primordial k to be of the order of 300 MeV, whereas the hard component grows as Q2/In(Q2/A2). To circumvent problems arising in the calculation of higher-order QCD diagrams /296-298/, most authors parameterize both components by one e f f e c t i v e k d i s t r i bution. Choosing a mean k
of 850 MeV, independent of x and Q2, the theory can be
tuned to agree with data over the whole range of p~ (Fig.7.9). The phenomenological way of including parton k
raises several new problems.
Figure 7.8b can be regarded e i t h e r as a quark-quark scattering, with the e f f e c t of the bremsstrahlung gluon being parameterized by the patton k , or as a quarkgluon compton e f f e c t . The same process appears to be counted twice. In the context of patton k , another point becomes evident: i t is no longer possible to keep a l l partons on shell /189,190/. Two ways are followed in the l i terature: e i t h e r the active partons are massless and kept on shell /282/, with the fate of the spectators being neglected, or i t is argued that the spectator essen-

The trigger condition (a large p~ hadron) selects configurations where the parton transverse momentum is aligned with the final hadrons momentum /282/. Note that the second diagram could be counted either as quark-quark scattering with a bremsstrahlung gluon, or as a quark-gluon scattering, where the gluon recoils against another quark
t i a l l y carries the i n i t i a l hadron mass, s~nce i t is subjected only to confining forces which have an appreciable effect only after a rather long time /190,295/. Consequently, the active partons are off shell (6.2). This procedure has the advantage that the pole of scattering amplitude at t = 0 moves into the unphysical region and cannot be reached. In the case of on shell partons, an arbitrary regularizing mass t § t-M2 has to be introduced to avoid divergencies /7,282/. In the s p i r i t of a preconfinement model, none of these methods are f u l l y adequate. Here the active partons become more and more off shell through successive emission of gluons, reaching a mean momentum squared of the quark line at the hard vertex up to O(Q2). After the scattering, the active parton i n i t i a t e s a "parton shower" and successively cascades down to the mass shell. Recent works which have begun to deal with this problem /301/, choose the parton mass as the mean mass

Anyhow, a l l these ambiguities in the i n t e r p r e t a t i o n of the QCD calculus concern mainly the region below p~ ~ 5 GeV, and i t is commonly agreed upon that the i n c l u sion of parton transverse momentum improves the agreement between theory and experiment in the medium p~ range /7,282,292-295/.
7.1.3
Constituent Interchange Model (CIM)
The QCD i n t e r p r e t a t i o n of large p~ phenomena requires a rather large parton transverse momentum. The phenomenological representation of these f l u c t u a t i o n s by an e f f e c t i v e k , instead of a sum over Feynman diagrams, raises various problems, part
137 of which can be traced back to the fact that at moderate p~, the lifetime of a large k fluctuation is of the same order as the timescales set by the hard interaction. In this case, effects due to the coherence of the i n i t i a l wave function have to be taken into account, resulting in subprocesses involving more than two quark partons. The CIM model /209,212,213,287-289/ assumes that particle production in the region below p~ = 5 to 7 GeV/c is governed by such "higher twist" or "natural" mechanisms. Typical subprocesses and their p~ dependence are

The labels M, B and q denote partons with meson, baryon, or quark quantum numbers, respectively, and are treated as having a negligible primordial k . I t has been argued /288,302,304/ that a systematic treatment of all hard scattering processes including both elementary quark and gluon contributions and higherorder constituent interchange processes is given by the "hard scattering expansion" /303/, which accounts for gluon corrections to the basic QCD process, constituent transverse momenta, higher-twist effects, etc. For example, inclusive meson cross sections are represented by 3h E(dh~l h 2 + h X ) ~ dp

The i n t r i n s i c transverse momentum of the partons in (7.27) is small and r e f l e c t s nonleading contributions. The v a l i d i t y of this expansion has been proven rigorously in a ~3 toy theory /303/; i t is presently not clear i f i t is appropriate to asympt o t i c a l l y free theories such as QCD. The p[4 terms in (7.27) correspond to the asymptotic QCD predictions; the p[8 terms represent the classical CIM mechanisms. The p[6 processes are suppressed by a subtle cancellation related to gauge invariance /302/. The normalization of the d i f f e r e n t processes can be derived from meson form factors and elastic scattering cross sections /305/. The resulting cross section is in f a i r agreement with data (Fig.7o9), the dominant mechanism below p~ ~ 5-7 GeV being qM§ qM.
138 From the experimentalists point of view, QCD and pure CIM d i f f e r mainly in three points: I)
In the CIM model, the " j e t " containing the t r i g g e r p a r t i c l e is formed by decay products of a meson resonance.
II)
Mesons which do not contain one of the incident valence quarks are l i k e l y to be produced via q~ § MM. For pp § K-X one obtains /302/ q(qq§ 0.!5 o(qM+K-q) ~ ( 1 _ x ) 2

Compared to large p ~" t r i g g e r s , which in the ClM are almost e n t i r e l y due to qM§
the away j e t f o r a K- t r i g g e r should be d i f f e r e n t , and i t s contents
of K+ should be enhanced in contrast to QCD where no strong f l a v o r c o r r e l a t i o n exists between the two jets at large p~.

7.2
General Characteristics of High p~ Events
Scattering of quark or gluon partons was shown to account for single-particle yields at large p~, once higher-order and higher twist effects are taken into account. In this section we shall discuss further evidence for a basic two-body scattering process, using two sets of data which are insensitive to details of parton fragmentation. The mechanisms of fragmentation and the properties of jets in large p~ events will be discussed in Sects.7.3,4.
7.2.1
Particle and BeamRatios
Ratios of single particle or jet cross sections at large x for different particle species, beam, and target types essentially test the ratio of structure functions of the interacting partons. They have the great advantage that both theoretical and experimental uncertainties tend to cancel. The ratio of jet to single-particle cross sections (Fig.7.10) tests the idea that scattered partons carry color and hence must fragment. This would yield a tremendous ratio for ~Jet(p~)/oh(p~) of the order of 103 at large x /282/ (7.14). The measured ratio is in good agreement with QCD predictions. For pure CIM processes which directly produce color-singlet mesons, the jet cross section is lowered by about one order

In the subprocess expansion (7.32) combining QCD and CIM graphs, the relative abundance of processes can be adjusted such that the major contributions to the j e t cross section come from QCD graphs, whereas CIM terms dominate single-particle production, favored by the trigger bias. Within present experimental errors /271,273,307/ such a combination is indistinguishable from pure QCD. Figures 7.11,12 show ~+/~-, k+/~ + and k-/~- ratios at large p~ for proton-proton collisions. In almost any hard scattering model referring to quark partons, ~+,k + and ~- mesons at large x
or x contain an u and d valence quark, respectively from
one of the incident hadrons. Consequently, the ~+/~- ratio at large x
reflects the
ratio I / ( I - x ) of u- and d-quark structure functions, while k+/~ + should be constant for x §
and k /~

141 F i n a l l y , one can t r y to study the angular dependence of the basic scattering process by considering the p a r t i c l e r a t i o ~-/~+ in ~-p c o l l i s i o n s as a function of the cms angle. I f do/do is peaked forward, one expects that ~-/~+, measured at f o r ward angles in the pion hemisphere, is large and increases with p~ since the incoming pion contains two negative, but no positive valence quarks. Figure 7.15 compares very recent experimental results with QCD predictions for cms angles of 90o , 77o , and 60o . The expected tendency is not observed, except perhaps for the two points at highest p~ and Ocms ~ 60o . A possible explanation for the discrepancy may be that the gluon contribution is underestimated since the gluon fragmentation function is chosen too steep. In that case the expected behavior shows up only at larger p~ or smaller Ocms. However, i t is obvious that these data, i f confirmed by future experiments, pose a serious problem for QCD.

Structure of Large p~ Events
The inspection of p a r t i c l e and beam ratios supports the idea that in events with a secondary at large x , a valence quark is struck out of one of the incident hadrons. What remains to be proven is that this happens by a two-body process, i . e . , that a large p~ event contains four jets of p a r t i c l e s , two at large p~ and two low p. j e t s made of spectator fragments.

The observed structure is not too f a r from what one expects in a hard scattering model. Near the t r i g g e r hadron, the p a r t i c l e density is enhanced, i n d i c a t i n g the existence of a "towards" j e t . The increase in density opposite in azimuth to the t r i g g e r is commonly i n t e r preted as due to the away j e t . Since the momenta of the c o l l i d i n g partons vary, part i c l e s from the away j e t are smeared out over a wide range in y, when averaged over many events. Contributions from the two jets at large p~ are more c l e a r l y seen in Fig.7.17. In the central r a p i d i t y region, the p a r t i c l e density peaks at @ = @trigger = 0 and at @ = ~. With increasing p~ of the secondaries, the f l a t background of spectator fragments diminishes, and the jets are better collimated in angle /264/.

Figures 7.18,19 demonstrate that the increase of p a r t i c l e density in the towards region ~ ~ @t follows the t r i g g e r r a p i d i t y , whereas the density of away secondaries stays symmetrical around y = 0 / 7 / . Since particles of both l i k e and opposite charge as the t r i g g e r show a narrow correlation, the e f f e c t cannot be e n t i r e l y due to the decay of low-lying resonances l i k e p /258,316/, Consider now the azimuthal region opposite to the t r i g g e r . A comparison of the p~ spectrum of particles with the inclusive spectrum proves that not only the number of p a r t i c l e s , but t h e i r mean p: as well are increased (Fig.7.20 /255/). I f the excess observed in Fig.7.20 is attributed to the "away" j e t , two particles in this region are expected to show strong correlations in r a p i d i t y since both are more or less aligned along the j e t axis. Such a correlation, whose strength increases with the p~ of p a r t i c l e s , is in fact observed (Fig.7.21 /265/).

bability to find the away j e t at y, one concludes that i t s rapidity range is limited to IYl < 2-3 at ISR energies (Fig.7.22 /258/). Note further that the correlation shown in Fig.7.22 is practically independent of the trigger rapidity. In hard scattering models, one expects the two jets to be coplanar. I t is, however, not clear, i f the back-to-back structure of jets seen in Fig,7.17 is not merely a consequence of momentum conservation. This question has been investigated by studying events with two ~~
of large p~ /266/. Figure 7.23 shows their difference
in azimuth for events having a fixed value of ET. ET is defined as the sum of the plan transverse momenta, plus the p~ of another object necessary to ensure the p~ balance, P~x = - ~ o - P ~ o ' .

Finally, is there exactly one away j e t in each event, and does i t compensate the whole p~ of the trigger particle? Figure 7.24 shows the momentum distribution of the away j e t as obtained from a calorimeter experiment /272,273/. The discrepancy between the trigger p~ and the mean momentum of the away j e t cannot be explained by the limited acceptance of the calorimeter /307/. A natural explanation is given by assuming a parton transverse momentum of ~I GeV/c. In this case, the transverse motion of the active partons is aligned along the trigger direction, with the recoil being taken by the spectators. This interpretation is supported by the investgation of spectator fragmentation /7,261/ (Sect.7.4). In Fig.7.25 the frequency of reconstructed away jets with p~ > 1.5 GeV/c is plotted as a function of the trigger p . As a reference, two curves from a Monte Carlo simulation of the j e t reconstruction procedure are shown, one for zero parton transverse momentum, and one assuming a momentum difference between trigger and away j e t of ~0.8 GeV/c due to parton k . The away j e t was chosen to resemble +
-
those observed in e e annihilations. The result for nonzero parton k supports the idea that an away j e t is Dresent in each large p~ event.

148 To conclude: c o r r e l a t i o n data are f u l l y consistent with the assumption of an underlying two-body hard scattering process. Note, however, that t h i s does not necess a r i l y give new information compared to the i n v e s t i g a t i o n of i n c l u s i v e cross sect i o n s . I t has been pointed out /308,309/ that in an uncorrelated j e t model (Sect. 3.1) whose matrix element is chosen power behaved in p~, a large transverse momentum is l i k e l y to be compensated by a single p a r t i c l e or c l u s t e r . I f such a model is used to describe parton thermodynamics, a l l kinematical features of large p~ events are reproduced once the single parton matrix element is matched to describe the i n c l u s i v e spectrum.
7.3
The Jets at Large p~
The i n v e s t i g a t i o n of properties of the two j e t s at large p~ is concentrated on the f o l l o w i n g questions. - Does f a c t o r i z a t i o n hold, i . e . ,
does a quark fragment s i m i l a r l y in e+e - a n n i h i l a -
tions or in such a complex environment of color sourdes as is given in large p~ reactions? - Are the fragmentation functions of the towards and away j e t s i d e n t i c a l ? According to QCD, the away side parton is l i k e l y to be a gluon, whereas the towards parton is more often a quark /282/. - Is there any evidence f o r scale breaking effects or f o r gluon bremsstrahlung? -
Is there a n o n t r i v i a l c o r r e l a t i o n between the flavors of the towards and the away parton? Such a c o r r e l a t i o n would be a h i n t that additional mechanisms are active besides the basic QCD graphs.
7.3.1
Longitudinal D i s t r i b u t i o n s of Particles in Jets
Consider f i r s t
the parton fragmentation functions, which can be studied via the x E
d i s t r i b u t i o n of p a r t i c l e s in the unbiased away j e t (7.18). Figures 7.26,27 show x E d i s t r i b u t i o n s f o r lower (<4 GeV/c) and higher (>3 GeV/c) p~ of the t r i g g e r p a r t i c l e . The cross sections ( I / o ) ( d ~ / d x E) scale for Pl > 3 GeV, the onset of scaling being evident from Fig.7.28. In the scaling region, x E spectra from d i f f e r e n t experiments and f o r charged and neutral secondaries agree remarkably well (Fig.7.29) and are described by ( I / o ) ( d o / d x E) ~ exp(-3.TXE)/X E. The scaling v i o l a t i o n s at low pt can be understood as a consequence of a nonzero patton transverse momentum and p a r t l y as a contamination by spectator fragments / 7 / . Since these effects are n e g l i g i b l e at s u f f i c i e n t l y large p#, i t seems j u s t i f i e d to use (7.18) to predict x E spectra f o r the known quark fragmentation f u n c t i o n .

Fig.7.29. x E d i s t r i b u t i o n s for charged and neutral hadrons for d i f f e r e n t ranges of t r i g ger p~, from CCHK / 7 / , CCOR/264/, ABCY /266/. Data are normalized at xF = 0.5. The curves shown are calculated fro~ (7.23) using a quark fragmentation function D~ for both jets ( . . . ) , a "gluon" fragmentation function D~(Z)L= (I-z)D~(z) for both j e t s ( - - - ) , and D~ a~d D~for the towards and away j e t , respectivel~ (.... )
this purpose the j e t cross section was taken as the measured inclusive cross section /264-266/ times the j e t to single p a r t i c l e ratio predicted by QCD /282/. The quark fragmentation function was parameterized as Dq(Z) ~exp(-4.5z)/z. Alternatively, a "gluon" fragmentation function Dg(Z) = (1-Z)Dq(Z) was used. The agreement between data and the naive calculation is surprisingly good (Fig.7.29). Data l i e between the curves for quark and for gluon j e t s ; for d e f i n i t e conclusions the calculation c e r t a i n l y is not precise enough. I t is interesting to note the s i m i l a r i t y of the predictions using Dq(Z) and Dg(Z). The reason is that these fragmentation functions were used both for the towards and the away j e t .
In the "gluon" case, the d i s t r i b u t i o n of fragments in z is
steeper, On the other hand, the mean z of the trigger hadron decreases (7.15), and thus the momentum of the parent j e t s is increased for fixed trigger p~ thereby j u s t cancelling the additional power ( l - z ) in Dg(Z). The situation changes once towards and away j e t s are taken to fragment in d i f f e r e n t ways; for a towards quark and an away gluon j e t the prediction f a l l s below the data at large x E. As far as absolute rates are concerned, data t y p i c a l l y l i e s l i g h t l y below the predictions (Fig.7.27). Note, however, that the normalization is essentially given by momentum conservation. Using the extrapolation (I/o)(do/dx E) ~exp(-3.7XE)/X E, 35% of the trigger momentum is compensated by charged particles in the away j e t for the data shown in Fig.7.27! Finally, to demonstrate what x E scaling r e a l l y means, consider Fig.7.30 where the inclusive spectrum of particles is shown together with (dn/dx E) at x E = I. For

uncorrelated emission of toward and away hadrons, the particle density at x E = I would drop by 5 orders of magnitude when changing the trigger p~ from 2 to 5 GeV/c. Instead, the correlation between towards and away j e t momenta keeps (dn/dx E) constant within 20-30%! Note in passing that at xE ~ I, the scaling l i m i t is reached very early since the event is in a f u l l y symmetrical configuration, and the influence of a parton k nearly disappears /311/.

y i e l d i n g a rather good representation of the measured spectra (Fig.7.31). Although the inclusive d i s t r i b u t i o n seems to scale for d i f f e r e n t t r i g g e r p~, the fraction of momentum carried by additional p a r t i c l e s of the towards j e t decreases with increasing t r i g g e r p~ (Fig.7.32). This is equivalent to an increase of the mean z of the t r i g g e r hadron with pt and to an increase of the j e t to single p a r t i c l e r a t i o (7.12). The effect is well accounted for by (7.15) with Dq(Z) as chosen above. The 20% difference in normalization is explained by the azimuthal cuts used in the experiments. As we have seen above, i t is rather hard to determine the shape of fragmentation functions from x E d i s t r i b u t i o n s . A more promising way is to detect as many j e t fragments as possible so that the t o t a l momentum of the j e t is known. Results from such attempts are shown in Figs.7.33,34: both towards and away j e t fragmentation agree with each other and with lepton-induced quark j e t s . However, some caution is needed. Since the experiments do not manage to detect a l l j e t fragments, large corrections are applied which in turn depend on the j e t properties. I t is not f u l l y clear how unique the f i n a l , self-consistent solution r e a l l y i s . Figure 7.35 shows fragmentation functions obtained from the calorimeter experiment E 260 /271/ using a j e t t r i g g e r . Displayed are the measured fragmentation functions in the triggering j e t and in the away j e t compared to a Monte Carlo simulation based on the FF model. Whereas the z d i s t r i b u t i o n in the away j e t is f a i r l y well reproduced, the authors claim to see a s i g n i f i c a n t disagreement with the theory for the t r i g g e r j e t ; to f i t

gluon jets in the trigger with a f a i r l y soft fragmentation function. The dependence of D(z) on the p~ of the trigger is interpreted as a scale-breaking effect. I t should be pointed out, however, that results on inclusive distributions in a t r i g ger j e t rely heavily on details of the Monte Carlo used to simulate the experiment (in contrast to data on ratios of j e t cross sections where the major uncertainties tend to cancel), and that some problems, like the inclusion of parton transverse momentum, are not yet solved in a satisfying manner. Figure 7.36 compares the mean charged m u l t i p l i c i t y of jets in large p~ events with data from e+e- annihilations. Although the overall agreement is not bad, especially the BSF data /263/, for low v~ the data show an increase of the mean mult i p l i c i t y by s l i g h t l y more than one unit. The excess can be traced to an increase of particle density by a factor 2 for z ~ 0 to 0.2, and the authors claim that the effect cannot be accomodated within a model with "standard" quark jets. I t could be regarded as a sign for gluon jets. On the other hand, z ~ 0.1 corresponds to particle momenta of about 0.5 GeV/c in the cms of the two jets of large p~, and factorization is not expected to hold for such fragments.

7.3.2
Transverse Properties of Jets and Five-Jet Final States +
-
As in e e annihilations, the transverse width of the jets at large p, is determined by two components: I) the nonperturbative momentum smearing and 2) radiative effects as predicted by QCD. In the second case, a hard quantum is radiated by one of the active partons either before or after the basic hard scattering, yielding a f i v e j e t final state. In most cases, however, this new j e t w i l l not be separately observed, but w i l l manifest i t s e l f as a broadening of the k distribution of the incident partons and as an increase of the width of the jets at large p . Experimentally, these two effects are hardly distinguishable at present energies. A precise determination of the axis to measure the fragmentation p. of fast fragments suffers from the fact that a unique assignment of soft particles to the four (or more?) jets in an event is impossible. As far as fast fragments are concerned, both processes have the identical effect; they destroy the coplanarity of the event and lead to an imbalance of the momenta of the two "main" jets of large p . Consider f i r s t the dependence of the fragmentation functions on the transverse momentum with respect to the j e t axis, q~. Figures 7.37,38 prove that the d i s t r i bution of particles is sharply cut off in q~, and that in large p~ jets particles are distributed uniformly in azimuth around the j e t axis. I f is plotted as a function of the track momentum or xE (Fig.7.39a), a seagull effect is visible. With-

in the accuracy of the measurements the values do not differ significantly from + -
those obtained in e e annihilations (Fig.7.39b). QCD effects can be investigated by studying the quantity k , which denotes the amount of parton transverse momentum in the nucleon required to describe the effective imbalance of the transverse momenta of the two active partons after the scattering. The Q2 or s dependenceof k can be measured directly in two ways. Either the component of k in the scattering plane is determined by measuring the magnitude of the transverse momentum imbalance of the two jets at large p~ which are detected in two opposite calorimeters, or one studies the component of k out of the scattering plane, which gives rise to a noncollinearity of the jet transverse momenta. This is usually done by investigating the momentum component Pout out of the scattering plane defined by the trigger momentum and the collision axis (Fig.7.40). The mean square of Pout is given by 1 2 + x2 I 2

Due to the slow v a r i a t i o n o f a s, the dependence of f on a s can be neglected in a first

as data points a t vrs = 16, 19, and 27 GeV scale p e r f e c t l y , they disagree w i t h values obtained at the ISR f o r ~
~ 50-60 GeV.
Part o f the disagreement can be traced back to the f a c t t h a t e s p e c i a l l y in the WPLF c a l o r i m e t e r experiment, i t
is not c l e a r what the measured
159
since i t is not known i f a gluon radiated by a scattered quark is caught by the calorimeter. Nevertheless, there is a way in which the two sets of data can be made consistent. Rememberthat besides the perturbative component of k described by (7.32), there exists a nonperturbative k inherent in the hadrons wave function. From the study of Drell-Yang processes, we know the mean primordial k is about 500-600 MeV/c /314/. In fact, after subtracting quadratically a primordial k of 600 MeV/c, all data approximately scale (Fig.7.42b). To summarize so far: the fragmentation function D(z) obtained for fast (p >> m) fragments of the scattered partons in large p~ events agree with the properties of +
-
quark jets measured in e e annihilations, within the experimental accuracy. Also, the transverse size of jets is similar and mainly determined by nonperturbative effects. A large asymmetry between the fragmentation of the towards and away jets, as expected in the CIM model, is excluded. On the other hand, a dominant contribution from gluons jets with a fragmentation function D~(z) = (1-z)D~(z) seems to be incompatible with the data. QCD effects are visible as an increase of k with Q2 and are qualitatively compatible with predictions. For definite quantitative conclusions, however, the systematic uncertainties of the experiments seem to be s t i l l too large.
7.3.3
Quantum-NumberCorrelations
The next step in the investigation of jets in large p~ events is to study correlations between quantum numbers of particles emitted within one j e t , or in different jets. Correlations in normal hadronic interactions are governed by the principle of "short-range order" which states that flavor quantum numbers of secondaries tend to be conserved locally /315,316/. The situation differs drastically for large p~ events. In the hard scattering process, both confined quantum numbers (such as fractional charge or color) and nonconfined quantum numbers (such as strangeness) propagate over large distances in phase space and give rise to long range quantum number correlations. In the remainder of Sect.7.3 we discuss correlations between the trigger flavor and hadrons in the opposite j e t of large p . In contrast to the constituent-interchange model, QCD predicts that the flavors of the towards and the away parton emitted in proton-proton collisions (and, to a large extent, in proton-nucleus collisions) are nearly uncorrelated since in QCD subprocesses no flavors are exchanged. However, the argument does not hold for interactions where beam and target particles d i f f e r . For example, in ~-p interactions a positive towards parton always stems from the incident proton, and consequently, the away parton is a ne-
160 gative pion constituent. Whereas for a negative trigger parton the mean charge of away partons will be close to zero. Let us now study correlations in proton-proton collisions. Consider f i r s t the influence of the trigger charge. Figure 7.43 shows the net charge density (I/o)(da+/dy-do-/dy) for events with a positive and negative large p~ particle at yt = 0 /262/. o+ and o- are the cross sections for production of additional pos i t i v e and negative particles, respectively. I t seems that the charge of the t r i g ger particle is balanced by other particles close to i t in rapidity. A precise measure for the correlation is given by the difference of the two curves in Fig.7.43, the so called "associated charge-density balance" ~q(y,yt) /316/. Naively speaking, Aq(y,y t) is the answer to the question "which particles in a high p~ event know about the trigger charge?" or "where do the valence constituents in the trigger particle come from?". Figure 7.44 displays Aq(y,y t) for events with a large p~ hadron at y ~ -0.9 /317/, The peak in Aq follows the trigger rapidity; the whole distribution looks quite similar compared to the compensation of the charge of a low p~ "trigger" particle in normal events /316/. Figure 7.45 shows ~q as a function of the azimuthal angle r and the difference y_yt for two event configurations, with the two jets of large p~ being in the same rapidity hemisphere ("back-antiback") and with the two jets in opposite hemispheres ("back-to

A contribution of away jet hadrons to Aq does not contradict QCD predictions since i t may arise from soft hadrons in the region where the jets overlap, hence exchanging flavors (Fig.7.2), while the charge of the scattered parton, as measured by the charge of the away jet leader, remains unaffected. Figure 7.46a shows the mean charge of the away jet leader for "back-to-back" configurations (see Fig.7.45), in the case of positive and negative trigger particles /259/.

Fi9.7.49. Ratio of the average number of hadrons in the away region for different combinations of trigger particles and for positive and negative secondaries. From BFS /262/
Nevertheless, one might be tempted to interpret the BFS results as an indication for CIM contributions. However, the enhancement of the h+/h" ratio for K- triggers (Fig.7.47) results from a decrease of the number of negative fragments (Fig.7.49) as compared to a pion trigger, whereas for a q~ § K-M+ process one expects the number of fast positive secondaries to rise as well. To summarize: experiments show that for well identified "nonexotic" large p~ meson triggers, no significant correlation between the flavors of the towards and the away parton is seen. This observation once more excludes classical CIM processes as representing one of the major sources of the meson yield at large p~. For exotic triggers ( i . e . , particles which do not contain a beam or target valence quark) the situation is unclear; data are sometimes contradictory and lack s t a t i s t i c a l significance~

Spectator Fragmentation
In the previous discussion of properties of the jets at large p~, the two spectator jets at low p~ were mainly considered as a nasty source of background. Since, however, the active partons are missing in the spectator systems, and since models like QRM or DCR predict the distribution of spectator fragments to depend c r u c i a l l y on i t s quark contents, the investigation of spectator decay offers an independent and complementary way to check the parton model concepts. As compared to studies of spectator fragmentation in lepton-nucleon interactions, high p~ events at ISR energies offer the advantage that the mass of the spectator systems is increased by factors of 10 as compared to the mean W in IN reactions, and therefore, i t is more j u s t i f i e d to use asymptotic concepts like DCR. Spectator fragmentation has been investigated by the CCHK/ACCDHW/259,317/ and BFS /261/ groups using the Split Field Magnet detector at the ISR. In both experiments the detector was triggered by particles of p~ ~ 2-3 GeV/c, which were produced in proton-proton collisions at /s = 52 GeV. The trigger hadron was identified by Cerenkov counters. Further results on spectator fragmentation in pp and ~p c o l l i s i o n at ~ ~ 16-19 GeV were published by E 260 /271/. The BFS group and E 260 selected trigger part i c l e s at y ~ O, whereas the CCHKcollaboration used a forward trigger at y ~ 2, or e ~ 200. As a result, the kinematics of the two-body subprocess differs appreciably. For the central trigger with x
~ 0.1, the active partons are l i k e l y to be
gluons /282,286/~ Because of the symmetrical configuration the partons creating the towards j e t could come from each of the incident protons. For a trigger angle of 200 , the active parton in the proton moving in the same longitudinal direction as the trigger particle has to be in the valence quark region at x ~ 0.4. Here, qq and especially qg processes are expected to be relevant. Since in QCD the forward cross sections are large compared to the probabilities for backward scattering (Fig.7.3), the towards parton w i l l always be the quark scattered out of the proton in the same rapidity hemisphere as the trigger. The spectator fragments of this proton w i l l be called the "accompanying spectator" as compared to the "away spectator" opposite in rapidity to the trigger. The forward trigger condition has yet another consequence. At a fixed small angle the inclusive cross section f a l l s more steeply in p~ than at e = 900, and the t r i g ger bias pushes the mean z of the trigger hadron up to z ~ 0.8-0.9 (7.15). Thus, +
favored fragmentation modes like u § ~ , d § ~ are strongly preferred~ This allows determination of the flavor of the scattered quark.
167
For such events with a forward large p~ particle, the predictions of the quark parton model are evident. - In most cases, the accompanying spectator contains two quarks, e.g., two u-quarks for a ~- trigger, and an u-quark and a d-quark for a ~+ trigger. Quantum numbers of the trigger particle and of the away spectator are uncorrelated.
-
- The away spectator is l i k e l y to contain all three incident valence quarks.
7.4.1 General Characteristics of the Spectator Figure 7.50 shows the distribution of spectator fragments in Feynman x for a central large p~ trigger as compared to the particle density in normal inelastic events /261/. With increasing pt of the trigger, the distributions drop more rapidly at large x. This can be understood simply as a consequence of energy conservation; the maximum energy of the spectators diminishes with increasing trigger p . Introducing a
new scaling variable ~ = p,,/(Pbeam-aP~), the BFS and E 260 collaborations found
scaling for a ~ 2 (Fig.7.51)o This value means that the amount of energy carried by the jets at high p~ is twice the minimum amount required by momentum conservation.

This may seem embarrassing. However, Monte Carlo studies prove that f o r a = 2, the variable x is a good approximation to the "correct" variable x ' , defined in (7.20), when averaged over the away j e t r a p i d i t i e s . So, Feynman scaling seems to hold f o r spectator fragmentation. Let us now turn to transverse momentum d i s t r i b u t i o n s in spectator j e t s . Figure 7.52 shows the r a t i o R of p a r t i c l e densities in spectator j e t s and in normal i n e l a s t i c events as a function of p~ with respect to the c o l l i s i o n axis. Once more the transversely c u t - o f f d i s t r i b u t i o n of momenta proves to be an universal feature of j e t s , the mean transverse momenta in the two classes of events deviate by less than 10%. Assuming that the basic fragmentation mechanisms are i d e n t i c a l , the small difference in
169 - Contamination by particles from the j e t s at large p . Since the r a p i d i t y of such particles is e s s e n t i a l l y restricted to IYl ~ 2-3, the e f f e c t should be negligible for Ixl ~ (2m /v~) sinh(Ymax) ~ 0.3-0.4, for p~ ~ I GeV, - gluon bremsstrahlung of the active quark before the scattering, - the spectator axis of f l i g h t deviates from the c o l l i s i o n axis since the active parton recoils against the spectator. Such a recoil has in fact been observed /258/ as a pronounced asymmetry in the azimuthal d i s t r i b u t i o n of f a s t spectator protons in high p~ events (Fig.7.53). Figure 7.54a shows the mean transverse momentum component opposite to the t r i g g e r p~ as a function of the t r i g g e r p~ for a central t r i g g e r . The amount of recoil carried saturates for higher p~ of the t r i g g e r . Such a saturation is expected for the p r i mordial component of parton k . The comparison of the recoil component and of the e f f e c t i v e k measured by the imbalance of momenta of the large p~ j e t s (Figo7.42) offers the p o s s i b i l i t y to separate soft gluon contributions (primordial k ?) from hard gluon effects (QCD)~ Only soft gluons are expected to be reabsorbed by the spectators; hard gluons should materialize as separate j e t s . Present data indicate a d i f f e r e n t dependence on the t r i g g e r p~ for the two components, but for d e f i n i t e conclusions, more precise data on the recoil momentum for larger pt are needed. Concerning the t h i r d p o s s i b i l i t y l i s t e d above, the BFS group claims that the increase of the mean p~ of detector fragments cannot be f u l l y explained by a momentum smearing due to the r e c o i l .

Quantum-Number Correlations
As already discussed, the quark-parton model predicts strong correlations between trigger and spectator quantum numbers. Figure 7.55 shows the ratio of rapidity distributions of positive secondary particles for a ~+ trigger to those with a ~- t r i g ger and similarly for negative secondaries. The trigger particle at yt ~ 2 has a mean p~ of 2~5 GeV/c. Similarly, the corresponding ratios for p/~+ triggers and for K-/~- triggers are given in Figs.7.56,58 (note that the "K- triggers" contain certain , -30%, contamination of large p~ antiprotons and that the "p trigger" includes some K+, ~20% /259/. A clear correlation is seen between the nature of the trigger particle and charged particles in the accompanying spectator j e t ; for y > 2,

where spectator fragments dominate, the ratios deviate markedly from unity.
The size of the effect is as expected: the accompanying spectator in ~ triggered events, which is a ud-quark system, contains less positive fragments than the uuspectator in ~ triggers. The different quark composition of the accompanying spectator is once more demonstrated in Fig.7.57, where the p~+ mass spectra is shown

Spectator Fragmentation Functions
For a forward ~+ and ~- t r i g g e r p a r t i c l e , the quark composition of the accompanying spectator are assumed to be ud and uu, respectively. Using dimensional counting rules or the quark recombination model, the scaling d i s t r i b u t i o n of fast fragments can be predicted and compared with experiment. Vice versa, one can t r y to i d e n t i f y the scattering mechanism by inspecting the quark composition of the spectator, an application which is p a r t i c u l a r l y interesting for the proton and K- triggers. As a scaling variable, we use x' as defined by (7.20) and make the following approximations for y, y' and m : y
=y t
(trigger rapidity), (experimentally:
y' = 0 m =I.1p~
t
The effects of these approximations have been simulated, showing that an i n i t i a l
dis-
t r i b u t i o n Ed3o/dp 3 ~ ( l - x ) B can be regained with an error in B of less than ~ 0.5. For ratios of cross sections, these errors tend to cancel. To compare with data, we use the QRM as defined by (6.24). Numerical values for meson production are taken from /201/. Predictions for ratios of p a r t i c l e densities are absolutely normalized. In addition predictions from counting rules are quoted, calculated via x'doh/dx ' ~ ( 1 - x ' ) 2n-I, where n is the minimum number of quarks l e f t over a f t e r the hadron h is emitted (Sects.6.5,6). The normalization is a r b i t r a r y . In apparent contradiction with experiments /319/, such a counting rule predicts the d i s t r i b u t i o n of ~+ and ~from proton fragmentation to be i d e n t i c a l . To correct for this e f f e c t , we use an ad hoc modification /192,259/ of the counting rule recipe: the predicted power is increased by one unit whenever the fragment contains a valence d-quark arising out of one of the primary protons. The same modification has been applied to the DCR predictions assuming p o i n t l i k e p a r t i c l e creation (6.37). DCR predictions are summarized in Table 7.2. For the K" t r i g g e r , three p o s s i b i l i t i e s have been considered: scattering of a valence quark followed by an unfavored fragmentation into a K-;

175 §
The spectrum of negative particles in the spectator accompanying a ~ trigger is given in Fig.7.60. The shape of the spectrum coincides with the f u l l y inclusive pion distribution in proton-proton collisions /319/ and is reproduced by both QRM and DCR models. To demonstrate the influence of the trigger charge the ratios of x' distributions for secondaries in the spectator j e t accompanying a ~- trigger and a ~+ trigger are shown in Fig.7.61 for both positive and negative secondaries. As expected, there are less fast negative fragments in ~- triggered events than for ~+ triggers, proving that in the f i r s t case the valence d-quark has been struck. The model calculations included in Fig.7.61 are straightforward as far as negative secondaries are concerned; the QRMmodel describes data well even at low x ' . The prediction based on "standard" DCR seems to be too steep at low x ' , but below x' ~ 0.3-0.4 the model is not expected to hold anyway, The QRM values for positive particles include three components.

The corresponding ratios of particles produced in association with a K- and ~t r i g g e r are shown in Fig.7.62. In the K- events, positive spectator fragments are enhanced and the density of negative particles is reduced. This r e s u l t is compat i b l e with the prediction of standard DCR for scattering of strange quarks, or with p o i n t l i k e DCR for strange quark or gluon scattering, taking into account that the r a t i o for negative fragments is probably s t i l l
compatible with ~const f o r x § I .
I t i s , however, hard to accommodate these observations in the framework of a recombination model. Since the K- contains no d-quarks, i t seems impossible to imagine any scattering mechanism which picks up the valence d-quark with the same efficiency than for ~- triggers. Without such a mechanism, the r a t i o shown in Fig. 7.62 is predicted to increase with x ' , for negative secondaries!

Another example where new information can be derived from the analysis of spect a t o r fragmentation is the production of forward large p~ baryons in proton-proton c o l l i s i o n s . There are strong indications that high p~ protons r e s u l t from the scattering of a quasi-bound diquark system out of one of the incident protons. A det a i l e d discussion of t h i s point is found in /259/. Let me summarize so f a r : using the dimensional counting rules, the shape of part i c l e spectra in the accompanying spectator can be described. The quark recombination model using a Kuti-Weisskopf matrix element f i t s the d i s t r i b u t i o n of spectator mesons in events with pion triggers quite w e l l , but f a i l s for "exotic" large p~ part i c l e s l i k e K-. There are two possible reasons for this f a i l u r e . a) The Kuti-Weisskopf model for the proton wave function makes a somewhat a r t i f i c i a l d i s t i n c t i o n between valence quark and sea quark matrix elements. I t may happen that although the model accounts f o r correlations between valence quarks, i t underestimates the correlation between a valence quark and a fast sea quark. b) In the QRM the fragments r e f l e c t the instantaneous d i s t r i b u t i o n s of quarks at the moment of the scattering. There, the spectator is f a r from i t s equilibrium. After scattering a quark at x ~ 0.3, 70% of the spectator momentum turns out to be carried by gluons. Assuming that this system regains i t s equilibrium before the fragmentation s t a r t s , the q u a l i t a t i v e agreement with experiments can be improved.

Particle Correlations in Spectator Jets
The short-range correlations observed between hadrons emitted in normal inelastic hadron reactions are usually described in terms of a cluster model /64,316,321/, assuming that in a f i r s t stage of the interaction, hadronic clusters with masses of about I-1.5 GeV are produced. There is some evidence that a "cluster" is a synonym for a sum over the known vector and tensor meson resonances /322/. The mean decay m u l t i p l i c i t y and the width of the correlation induced by cluster decay are characteristic and energy independent features of low p~ interactions. To investigate such short-range rapidity correlations among spectator fragments, the perturbation by particles from the two jets at large p~ has to be minimized. To achieve this goal the CCHKgroup /317/ studied events where both the towards and the away j e t are in the same rapidity hemisphere at rapidities y < -0.7. The j e t rapidities are taken as the rapidity of the trigger particle and as the rapidity of the fragment with largest p~ in the away j e t region. Correlations were studied among spectator fragments at positive rapidities. Figure 7.63 shows the two particle density correlation
C ' ( y l l y 2) : p(yiIY2)-p(yl ) for Y2 ~ 2 and Y2 ~ 4. The correlation function C ' ( y l l y 2) describes the change in particle density at Yl for events which have a particle at Y2 as compared to the inclusive rapidity distribution. C' is closely related to the correlation function C defined by (4.47) /316/. From Fig.7.63 a strong short-range correlation is evident. Both size and width of the correlation essentially agree with the corresponding distributions obtained in ordinary nondiffractive proton-proton collisions at the same cms energy /316/. In Fig.7.64, the charge balance Aq(yl,Y2 ) is plotted as a function of the rapidity YI" Aq(YI'Y21 (Fig.7.44) measures where in rapidity the charge of a particle selected at Y2 is balanced. Charge is seen to be conserved locally in phase space, like in normal nondiffractive hadron reactions /316/. The s i m i l a r i t y of correlations in inelastic events at low p~ and in spectator fragmentation at large p~ suggest that the same mechanism of fragmentation or confinement occurs, supporting the hypothesis of j e t universality in i t s most general sense. Moreover, the observed correlations are in qualitative agreement with the preconfinement concept in QCD which states that during the evolution of the rapidity plateau color singlet clusters with masses of the order of I GeV are created. From parton diagrams describing j e t formation via successive branching (Fig.5.6), one learns that these states tend to be flavor neutral. Assuming that such clusters

Summary
The distribution in phase space of secondaries in hadron-hadron interactions with large p~ particles is consistent with the four-jet structure characterizing a basic two-body parton-parton scattering. The main features of both inclusive spectra and particle ratios at large p~ are described in the QCD model where quark-quark, quark-gluon and gluon-gluon subprocesses contribute. Especially at medium p~ ~ 2-5 GeV/c, scale-breaking effects and corrections due to parton k have to be taken into account. Significant contributions from constituent interchange processes, like qq § MR, or qM § q'M' are excluded. The properties of the jets at large p~ agree with those of quark jets observed +
-
in e e annihilations, except for a possible increase of the plateau height. There is no clear evidence for the presence of gluon jets with fragmentation functions markedly different from quark fragmentation. However, based on the experience gained from the study of T decays, such a difference is not expected to show up at j e t momenta below 5 to 10 GeV. In agreement with QCD predictions, the quantum numbers of partons at large p~ are essentially uncorrelated, proving that no flavors are exchanged in the subprocess. Only for production of "exotic" particles which cannot result from favored fragmentation of a scattered valence quark, certain correlations are observed. However, the experimental situation is s t i l l ambiguous. A further test of the QCD model was obtained by studying spectator fragmentation. +
I t is shown that in proton-proton reactions with a forward large p~ ~ and ~ , an u- and d-quark, respectively, is scattered out of the proton moving in the same longitudinal direction as the pion, proving further that the underlying partonparton cross section is strongly peaked forward: A comparison of p~ distributions and two particle correlations in the spectator region with those obtained in normal inelastic events proves that similar mechanisms of fragmentation act in both cases.
8. Hadron-Hadron Interactions at Low p .
Motivated by the success of the quark-parton model in the description of deep ine l a s t i c processes, one is tempted to apply this picture to normal i n e l a s t i c hadron interactions as well. Many of the general aspects of low p~ hadron interactions have been referenced already in Chaps.2 and 7. - The secondaries form jets around the c o l l i s i o n axis. - Similar to the jets observed in lepton induced reactions, these jets consist of a fragmentation region carrying the quantum numbers of the incident p a r t i c l e and of a plateau region. The retention of quantum numbers l i k e charge is i l l u s t r a t e d in Fig.8.1, where p a r t i c l e density and charge density d i s t r i b u t i o n s per event are shown as a function of the r a p i d i t y y, for pp reactions at vrs = 52 GeV /316/. - The s dependence of p a r t i c l e spectra is described by the concept of l i m i t i n g fragmentation /2,323/. Inclusive spectra in the fragmentation region scale in Feynman x, respectively in x E = 2 E / ~ . With increasing s, the length of the plateau increases, but i t s other characteristics e s s e n t i a l l y stay unchanged (Fig.8o2). = Inclusive fragmentation spectra factorize in a sense that at high energies, beam and target fragmentation depend only on the type of beam and target p a r t i c l e . This is visualized in Fig.8.3. -
Transverse momenta with respect to the c o l l i s i o n axis are l i m i t e d . Mean momenta are of the same size as the nonperturbative component of p~ in reactions at large momentum transfers.
All this is precisely what is expected in parton models where fragmentation spectra are related to the d i s t r i b u t i o n of valence quarks in the incident particles /13-15/. In the following section, we shall concentrate on the main characteristic of parton processes, the x d i s t r i b u t i o n of fragments.

Longitudinal Fragmentation Spectra
To apply models l i k e DCR or QRM to reactions at low p~, one has to identify the basic interaction which gives rise to the fragmentation. In deep inelastic scattering the process i n i t i a t i n g the fragmentation is well known: a large momentum transfer leads to a separation of color carriers in space. The existence of a rapidity plateau connecting the fragmentation regions of low p~ events indicates that in the i n i t i a l interaction "something" is exchanged between the incident hadrons which gives rise to a long-range force. The most natural candidate for this "something" is color..Within the general concept of QCD there are two mechanisms which could provide a color exchange. - color-octet, vector-gluon exchange (Fig.8.4b) /325-327/, - c o l o r - t r i p l e t quark exchange, respectively quark-antiquark annihilation (Fig.8.4a) /4,15,73/. The gluon exchange mechanism was the starting point for the Pomeron model of LOW /325/ and NUSSINOV /326/ and has the advantage of automatically generating a constant high-energy cross section. The quark exchange or annihilation mechanism is the QCD equivalent of Feynmans wee-parton exchange /4/. The quark exchange model yields total cross sections rising as In(S) for seaquark-sea-quark interactions and constant cross sections for valence-quark-sea-quark

A p o s s i b i l i t y to distinguish between the quark and gluon exchange mechanisms has been proposed by BRODSKYand GUNION /193/. I t is based on the ansatz that p a r t i c l e spectra at large x are determined by those quark diagrams containing the minimum number of quark lines. According to the DCR, for example, each additional spectator line damps the x distributions of fragments by at least ( l - x ) (see Sect.6.6). Consider

now the reaction pp § ~+~+X with two f a s t pions at opposite r a p i d i t i e s . The relevant minimal diagrams are displayed in Fig.8.4. One recognizes that for gluon exchange the production mechanisms are identical for both fragmentation regions; the pion momenta are not correlated. For a quark exchange to occur, one of the protons has to be in a higher Fock state containing sea quarks. In the framework of counting rules, the momentum sharing among at least f i v e quarks results in a damping of quark structure functions and consequently of the pion spectra at large x. The production rates f o r f a s t mesons in opposite fragmentation regions are expected to show a pronounced a n t i c o r r e l a t i o n /193/. The corresponding predictions based on the recombination model are less evident and depend on the choice of the multiquark wave function. Nevertheless, i t is e v i dent that in a state as described by the upper h a l f of Fig.8.4a where one of the valence quarks is forced to be at low x, the mean momentum of the remaining valence quarks is larger than in a state as given by the lower part of Fig.8.4a. +

Thus, reactions of the type (8.4) are omitted in the f o l l o w i n g discussion, and the x range used is r e s t r i c t e d to 0.3 ~ x ~ 0.8.

Figure 8.6a presents values of n for meson production by meson and baryon beams, Fig.8.6b displays the corresponding values for baryon production. F i n a l l y , the results on spectator fragmentation in high p~ reactions are shown in Figo8.6c. Theoretical predictions are given f o r three d i f f e r e n t models. a) Quark recombination (Sect.6.5) enables very detailed predictions for processes where the fragment contains one or more valence quarks of the incident hadron. However, the knowledge of the corresponding valence structure function is required. This condition r e s t r i c t s the predictive power of the model to processes where f a s t mesons are produced. QRM predictions are shown in more detail in Fig. 8.7 f o r pp § ~++X and pp § ~-+X /197/. Here, the maximum amount of information is available both t h e o r e t i c a l l y and experimentally. The shape of p a r t i c l e spectra is extremely well reproduced, and questions concerning the absolute normal i z a t i o n have been discussed in Sect.6.5. In Fig.8.6, d e f i n i t e predictions of the QRM are shown as black t r i a n g l e s , whereas values relying on the specific choice of the Kuti-Weisskopf structure function are given by open t r i a n g l e s . b) Counting rules f o r p o i n t l i k e emission ~ect.6.6 (6.47~ is based on the same philosophy as the QRM: the d i s t r i b u t i o n of fragments r e f l e c t s the instantaneous d i s t r i b u t i o n of quarks at the moment of the interaction. The predicted power n may be increased by one unit due to spin or isospin e f f e c t s , e . g . , for pp § ~-+X as compared to pp § ~++X. The f u l l bars shown in Fig.8.6 include this uncertainty. c) "Standard" counting rules [Sect.6.6, (6.40)]. Here i t is assumed that an e q u i l i brium state containing a l l f i n a l state quarks preceeds p a r t i c l e emission (open bars in F i g . 8 . 6 ) . " Figure 8.6 proves that these standard counting rules c l e a r l y disagree with data from p~ hadronic interactions. Both " p o i n t l i k e " counting rules and the quark recombination model are in reasonable agreement with low p~ data and with results on spect a t o r fragmentation in events with large momentum transfers, with the following exceptions: - the d i s t r i b u t i o n s of antibaryons in hadronic c o l l i s i o n s is predicted too f l a t ; - the d i s t r i b u t i o n of negative fragments in the accompanying spectator in events with a large p~ K- is predicted too f l a t (Fig.7.62). As already noticed, part of these discrepancies could be cured by choosing a more complicated proton wave function which includes dynamical correlations between valence and sea quarks; f o r d e f i n i t e conclusions more precise data are needed.

Figure 8.6c shows the predictions of " p o i n t l i k e " counting rules for the favored and unfavored fragmentation function for quark j e t s . The predictions ( l - x ) and ( l - x ) 2 are s l i g h t l y too f l a t in x compared to the measured spectra for 0.3 ~ x ~ 0.8 which is the same range of x as used in the discussion of spectator fragments. An explanation for this tendency may be given by scale-breaking effects: in the evolution of a quark j e t , the formation of f i n a l state hadrons w i l l occur at 2 Q2. some scale QO ~ I GeV2 << The fact that hadron fragmentation is described by the QRM using the structure functions obtained in deep i n e l a s t i c reactions i n d i cates Q2

9. Summary
The existence of j e t l i k e structures is shown to be a general characteristic of hadronic f i n a l states in reactions of elementary p a r t i c l e s at high energies. The quarkparton model suggests that these j e t s r e s u l t from the fragmentation of colored partons. Although the partons produced in various reactions may d i f f e r in t h e i r quark contents, in t h e i r color state, and in the momentum transfer Q2 at which they are probed, the resulting jets are expected to e x h i b i t many common features. In the present work, properties of j e t s observed in +

hadronic decays of the T meson, deep i n e l a s t i c lepton-nucleon scattering, hadron-hadron reactions with large p~ p a r t i c l e s , and
- normal i n e l a s t i c hadronic reactions are compared, and phenemenological approaches to describe t h e i r properties are discussed. In the parton model', the space-time evolution of a j e t may be visualized as an "inside-outside" cascade: the color charge of the active parton induces a p o l a r i zation cloud which follows the parton and f i n a l l y neutralizes i t s color. I t is shown that phenomenological models for j e t fragmentation, l i k e the FeynmanField algorithm, can be derived from this concept. The model of "inside-outside" cascades is further supported by QCD calculations. Here, parton fragmentation is treated as a successive branching into partons of smaller mass, y i e l d i n g the same space-time structure of jets as the very naive parton model. According to these concepts, a j e t should consist of a fragmentation region and a plateau region. Parton quantum numbers are e s s e n t i a l l y retained in the fragmentation region. Jets in d i f f e r e n t environments and at d i f f e r e n t energies are related via scaling fragmentation functions, environmental independence of the fragmentat i o n , and by the u n i v e r s a l i t y of the r a p i d i t y plateau.

Data on quark jets observed in e e annihilations and in lepton-nucleon interactions are consistent with these ideas. Small violations of the idealized concepts can be understood quantitatively as due to phase-space effects at low energies and QCD bremsstrahlung corrections at high energies. In contradiction to QCD predictions, the investigation of gluon jets in T decays shows no evidence for a softening of fragmentation functions as compared to quark j e t s , and average m u l t i p l i c i t i e s are very similar for both types of jets. However, parton fragmentation at these energies is governed by phase-space effects rather than by asymptotical parton concepts. In hadron-hadron interactions involving large momentum transfers, pairs of jets with opposite large transverse momenta are observed. Both longitudinal and transverse properties of these jets are essentially consistent with those of "standard" quark jets. This fact, as well as measurements of inclusive particle ratios at large p~, favor QCD models where quarks or gluons are scattered, in contrast to constituent interchange mechanisms. The absence of correlations between the charge of a pion at large p~ and the quantum numbers of the opposite recoiling parton, proves further that parton scattering occurs through the exchange of flavor singl e t f i e l d s , such as gluons. In such interactions, where a quark is scattered out of a hadron, or more gener a l , where a current of large Q2 interacts with a single parton, a colored spectator system is l e f t over and fragments. In the present work, special emphasis is put on the investigation of spectator fragments, since only here can the relation between the quark contents of a composed colored system and i t s fragmentation functions be studied systematically. Fragmentation spectra of diquark spectator systems produced in vN interactions are shown to be compatible with predictions based on counting rules (DCR) or the quark recombination model (QRM). Since the shape of fragmentation spectra characterizes the quark contents of the spectator, this provides a new method to determine the type of constituent subprocess occurring, i . e . , in events with large p~ particles. This method, having been applied to proton-proton interactions, has demonstrated that forward high-p~ pions are fragments of valence quarks scattered at small angles. In an analogous way fragmentation models can be used to describe hadron production at low p~ in normal inelastic hadronic interactions, once the mechanism i n i t i a t i n g the fragmentation is known. The absence of correlations between fast pions emitted in opposite rapidity hemispheres points towards a primary gluon exchange as compared to flavor exchange mechanisms.
194 Fragmentation spectra of incident hadrons into mesons and baryons are essentia l l y consistent with the quark recombination picture and with a " p o i n t l i k e " version of counting rules. There are indications that a combination of the perturbative evolution of parton densities in j e t s , as given by QCD, and of a recombination mechanism provides an universal tool to understand parton fragmentation. The d i s t r i b u t i o n of low "mass" partons within a j e t of large Q2 can be derived using QCD, resp. is given by the primordial parton d i s t r i b u t i o n in reactions at moderate momentum transfers. The recombination p r i n c i p l e t e l l s how these quarks convert into hadrons.
