Particle Production in Soft and Hard Hadronic Collisions. Is There Evidence for Hadronic Constituents

摘要

After a short review of some properties of hadronic multi-particle systems which show the presence of a statistical mechanism, particle production is described in soft hadronic collisions using the quark recombination model. Finally, particle production in hard collisions, in particular large transverse momentum processes and the occurrence of gluon jets in deep inelastic processes, is discussed within the framework of QCD perturbation theory.
