Abstract

The qualitative features of models for high-energy production processes based on the fragmentation of the dressed quarks assumed to make up hadrons are discussed. It appears that, if quarks are very massive (i.e., quark mass 10 GeVc2), such models could explain in a simple way the experimental elusiveness of quarks, the limitations on transverse momenta observed in production reactions, the average inelasticity observed in cosmic-ray proton interactions, the abundance of pions produced in high-energy collisions, and the large transverse momenta observed in air showers for primary particle energies above 106 GeV.
