Is there any good review articles on quark fragmentation model?

In summary, there are some popular models for quark fragmentation into hadrons, including the Lund Model and Feynman-Field Model. For recent reviews on the topic, you can refer to the manuals of event generators PYTHIA and HERWIG, which not only explain the technical aspects but also provide insights into the underlying physics. These reviews can be found at http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/0011363v3.pdf and http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/0603175v2.pdf.

I am planning to do some work on quark fragment into hadrons, and I have heard some models like Lund Model, feynman-field model and so on.
Is there any good review articles on the topic of fragmentation model? (Recent years is better)

Best Regards!

Thanks a lot!
 

1. What is the quark fragmentation model?

The quark fragmentation model is a theoretical framework used to describe the process by which a high-energy quark breaks up into a spray of particles, known as a jet, in a particle collision experiment.

2. How does the quark fragmentation model explain jet production?

The quark fragmentation model explains jet production by postulating that the high-energy quark first emits a virtual gluon, which then splits into a quark-antiquark pair. These quarks then undergo further interactions and produce a cascade of particles, resulting in the formation of a jet.

3. Are there any experimental results that support the quark fragmentation model?

Yes, there have been numerous experimental studies that support the quark fragmentation model. These include measurements of jet shapes, jet fragmentation functions, and jet production rates in particle collision experiments.

4. What are some limitations of the quark fragmentation model?

One limitation of the quark fragmentation model is that it does not take into account the effects of the strong nuclear force between the quarks. This can lead to discrepancies between the model predictions and experimental data at very high energies.

5. How is the quark fragmentation model relevant to the study of particle physics?

The quark fragmentation model is essential to our understanding of the strong nuclear force and the behavior of particles at high energies. It is also crucial for interpreting experimental data and making predictions for future experiments, such as those conducted at the Large Hadron Collider.
