Comparison of the particle flow in qq-barg and qq-bar. gamma. events in e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilation

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
We compare the particle flow in the event plane of three-jet qq-barg (quark-antiquark-gluon) events with the particle flow in radiative annihilation events qq-bar..gamma.. (quark-antiquark-photon) for similar kinematic configurations. In the angular region between quark and antiquark jet, we find a significant decrease in particle density for qq-barg as compared to qq-bar..gamma... This effect is predicted in QCD as a result of destructive interference between soft-gluon radiation from quark, antiquark, and hard gluon.
