ABSTRACT
Colored quarks and gluons can be regarded as free during a hard collision, but subsequently color forces will organize them into colorless hadrons; this is called fragmentation or hadronization. Typically it involves the creation of additional quark-antiquark pairs by the color force field. Figure 6.1 shows an example for deep inelastic ep scattering, where the struck quark and the spectator diquark combine with many quark-antiquark pairs to form a multi-hadron final state.
