Can quantized fragmentation replace colour reconnection models ?

TL;DR

This paper explores whether quantized fragmentation of a helical QCD string can serve as an alternative to traditional colour reconnection models in explaining the evolution of transverse momentum with particle multiplicity, supported by recent experimental data.

Contribution

It introduces the concept of quantized fragmentation of a helical QCD string as a potential replacement for colour reconnection models and discusses its implications for particle physics.

Findings

Quantized fragmentation can reproduce the evolution of average transverse momentum.

Comparison with experimental data supports the viability of the model.

Potential to improve understanding of hadronic event structures.

Abstract

A brief overview of properties of the model of quantized fragmentation of a helical QCD string is followed by the discussion of colour reconnection models and of the ways to reproduce the evolution of the average transverse momentum in hadronic events, as function of charged particle multiplicity. Reference to recent experimental data is included.
