Investigation of Colour Reconnection in WW events with the DELPHI detector at LEP-2
In the reaction e+e-→WW→(q1q̄2)(q3q̄4) the usual hadronization models treat the colour singlets q1q̄2 and q3q̄4 coming from two W bosons independently. However, since the final state partons may coexist in space ...
