In this study the electric charges of leading systems in quark and gluon jets from hadronic three-jet events in $e^+e^-$-annihilation measured with the DELPHI-experiment are examined. Leading systems are defined by a rapidity gap between…
Using the full statistics of the DELPHI experiment at $\sqrt{s}=91 GeV$ 3-jet events are selected and gluon respectively quark jet enriched subsamples are defined. The leading systems of the two kinds of jets are determined using rapidity…
Three jet events arising from decays of the $Z^0$ boson, collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP, were used to measure differences in the properties of quark and gluon jet fragmentation. Gluon jets were anti-tagged in $b\bar{b}g$ events, by…

We summarise the latest experimental QCD studies based on data from LEP. Measurements of the quark and gluon jet fragmentation functions are discussed, including a new algorithm to infer the properties of unbiased gluon jets. We describe a…
A new method to identify the gluon jet in 3-jet ``{\bf Y}'' decays of $Z^0$ is presented. The method is based on differences in particle multiplicity between quark jets and gluon jets, and is more effective than tagging by leptonic decay.…
Distinguishing quark-initiated jets from gluon-initiated jets has the potential to significantly improve the reach of many beyond-the-standard model searches at the Large Hadron Collider and to provide additional tests of QCD. To explore…
Differences between the properties of gluon and quark jets have been convincingly established by experiments at LEP. Quantitative tests of QCD analytic predictions for these differences have not been possible, however, because of…
Gluon jets are identified in e+e- hadronic annihilation events by tagging two quark jets in the same hemisphere of an event. The gluon jet is defined inclusively as all the particles in the opposite hemisphere. Gluon jets defined in this…
We propose a new strategy to obtain a high-purity sample of gluon-initiated jets at the LHC. Our approach, inspired by the Lund jet plane picture, is to perform a dijet selection where the two jets are collinear to each other and their…
We study the fragmentation of (light) quarks and gluons to hadrons inside a jet of cone size R. This allows for a more exclusive analysis of fragmentation than is currently the case. The shape of semi-inclusive cross sections in the hadron…
The differences between quark and gluon jets are studied using LEP results on jet widths, scale dependent multiplicities, ratios of multiplicities, slopes and curvatures and fragmentation functions. It is emphasized that the observed…
This paper presents a measurement of quantities related to the formation of jets from high-energy quarks and gluons (fragmentation). Jets with transverse momentum 100 GeV $<p_T<$ 2.5 TeV and pseudorapidity $|\eta| < 2.1$ from an integrated…
Recent developments and results on the comparison of gluon to quark jets are discussed. A most important topic is the introduction of explicit energy scales of the jets. The scaling violation of the fragmentation function and the increase…
Gluon jets are identified in hadronic Z0 decays as all the particles in a hemisphere opposite to a hemisphere containing two tagged quark jets. Gluon jets defined in this manner are equivalent to gluon jets produced from a color singlet…
