We show that QCD4 with transverse confinement can be approximately compactified into QCD2 with a transverse quark mass $m_{{}_T}$ that is obtained by solving a set of coupled transverse eigenvalue equations. In the limits of a strong…

I consider the question of the interaction between a QCD string and the spin of a quark or an antiquark on whose worldline the string terminates. The problem is analysed from the point of view of a string representation for the expectation…
Classical arguments predict that the quark and the antiquark of a pair created during string fragmentation are both transversely polarized in the direction of \hat z \times \vec q_T, where z is the direction of the pull exerted by the…
The static potential $V(r)$ between a static quark and a static antiquark separated by a distance r is defined as the energy of the ground state of the system. As a consequence of confinement, the energy between the quark-antiquark pair is…
Through gravity/gauge duality, the string breaking and running coupling constant of heavy quark-antiquark pair are investigated in the rotating background. For the meson decay mode $\rm Q\bar{Q} \rightarrow Q \bar{q}+\bar{Q} q$, we discuss…
For the case of two light flavors we propose the stringy description of the system made of one heavy and one light quark-antiquark pair, with the aim of exploring the two lower-lying Born-Oppenheimer potentials as a function of a separation…
Within the Quark-Gluon String Model A.B. Kaidalov found a behaviour of quark and diquark fragmentation functions for $z\rightarrow 0$ and $z\rightarrow 1$, and proposed interpolation formulae for the functions in the whole region of $z$.…
StringSpinner is a plugin for the introduction of the spin effects in the hadronization part of the PYTHIA 8 event generator. The spin effects are generated for pseudoscalar meson production by propagating the quark polarization along the…
A string model, advocated by Bowler, provides a physical and intuitive picture of heavy quark fragmentation. When supplemented by an ad hoc factor of (1-z), to suppress fragmentation near z=1, it supplies an excellent fit to the data. We…
We study the measurement of the quark fragmentation functions for spin-1/2 baryon production ($\Lambda$ and $\bar \Lambda$, in particular) in unpolarized $e^+e^-$ annihilation. The spin-dependent fragmentation functions $\hat g_1(z)$ and…
We study the classical breaking of a highly excited (closed or open) string state on the leading Regge trajectory, represented by a rotating soliton solution, and we find the resulting solutions for the outgoing two pieces, describing two…
The vacuum of Quantum Chromodynamics is a superposition of degenerate states with different topological numbers that are connected by tunneling (the $\theta$-vacuum). The tunneling events are due to topologically non-trivial configurations…
String breaking is a central dynamical process in theories featuring confinement, where a string connecting two charges decays at the expense of the creation of new particle-antiparticle pairs. Here, we show that this process can also be…
The charged particles multiplicity distribution in the KNO form is discussed in processes of $e^+e^-$ annihilation at energies $\sqrt{s}$ 14 -- 206.2 GeV. The experimental data are compared to data, obtained with Monte Carlo simulation in…
We calculate the spin density matrix of the hadron $h$ created via quark fragmentation in the process $e^-e^+ \to q\bar q \to h + X$. In the case of $h=\Lambda$ the experimental data could possibly elucidate the problem of $s$-quark…
The object of this thesis is to study the spin-spin correlations for top quark productions and their decay at polarized e^+e^- linear colliders. For the analyses of the spin-spin correlations in top quark production, we introduce a generic…
A model for string breaking on the lattice is formulated using strong coupling ideas. It gives an explicit picture of string breaking, in the presence of dynamical quarks, as a mixing process between a string state and a two-meson state. An…
I review a few selected topics concerning heavy-quark fragmentation, taking particular care about bottom- and charm-quark production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation and the inclusion of non-perturbative corrections. In particular, I discuss recent…
