Description

The authors investigate the four-jet production processes e+e-→qanti qgg and e+e-→qanti qqanti q in lowest order QCD perturbation theory. It is estimated that four-jet events should be detectable at a rate of about 5% at the highest PETRA energy. The acoplanarity distribution is calculated and compared to nonperturbative effects.
