A three-dimensional model for quark and gluon jets

Based on the assumption that a color force-field has a stringlike character (like a stretchedout bag_ with no excited degrees of freedom transverse to the field direction (which is strongly supported by the observed polarization of inclusively produced Λ-particles) we derive the probability to produce heavy flavor quark-antiquark pairs and pairs with transverse momentum in the field. We show how to incorporate the results into a soft hadronisation scheme for particle distributions in quark and gluon jets. We point to some non-trivial effects from the finite (longitudinal) size of the force-field which result on the one hand in important correlations between the longitudinal scaling variable and the transverse momentum and on the other hand leads to correstions to the simple iterative cascade scheme.
