A Generalised Area Law for Hadronic String Reinteractions

Abstract

A new model for hadronic string reinteractions based on a generalised area law is presented. The model describes both the hadronic final states in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation and the diffractive structure function in deep inelastic scattering. The model also predicts a shift in the W-mass reconstructed from hadronic decays of W-pairs of the order 65 MeV.
