Comparison of the particle flow in qanti qγ and qanti qg events from e+e- annihilations at PETRA

Description

The particle flow distributions in the event plane of 3-jet (e+e- → qanti qγ) and of radiative 2-jet (e+e- → qanti qγ) events are compared at a centre of mass energy of 35 GeV. The number of particles in the angular region opposite to the gluon in qanti qg events is found to be significantly reduced relative to the number of particles in the region opposite to the hard photon in qanti qγ events. This depletion is expected from the 'string effect' observed in 3-jet events. It can be explained within the framework of QCD as arising from soft gluon interference. (orig.)
