Within the framework of semiclassical QCD approximations the short distance behavior of two static color charges in (2+1)-dimensional QCD is discussed. A classical linearization of the field equations is exhibited and leads to analytical…

The dominant mechanism to produce hadronic bound states with large transverse momentum is fragmentation, that is the splitting of a high energy parton into a hadronic state and other partons. We review the present schemes to calculate the…
