Colour connections of four quark $Q\bar{Q}{Q}^{\prime }{\bar{Q}}^{\prime }$ system and doubly heavy baryon production in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation

Abstract

The hadronization effects induced by various colour connections of the four quark system in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation are briefly reviewed. A special colour connection of four heavy quark system without colour-separation favours the production of doubly heavy baryons. For the related three-jet case, the corresponding hadronization has not been considered. We argue that it can be effectively described as two string fragmentation besides the leading heavy diquark fragmentation. The production rate and the properties of final state hadron systems are discussed. Emphasis is on the string effect as a finger print of this hadronization procedure.
