Hoyer, P

Tests of perturbative QCD in hard processes involving jets have been found to depend on the jet fragmentation model used. We emphasize the need for testing the factorization of hard and soft processes, i.e., the independent fragmentation of jets. A method of analysis is suggested, which allows a model-independent determination of the gluon fragmentation function from e/sup +/e/sup -/ data. We also comment on some simple features expected in anti pp ..-->.. (2 or 3 jets) + X events. 19 references.
