| Abstract: | The properties of jets produced by a gluon source are examined in QCD. We give a simple derivation of the jet opening angle (up to an undetermined constant) using arguments of general applicability. At asymptotic energies, gluon jets are found to be wider than quark jets in an intuitively natural way. Unfortunately, in the energy range anticipated for PEP or PETRA, the results are quite sensitive to variations in the undetermined constant so that firm quantitative predictions cannot be made within the present approximations. |
