Abstract
Monte Carlo QCD branching together with a hadronization model is a powerful
tool to study jets, both theoretically and phenomenologically. At the parton
level, the properties of colorless clusters are investigated by a QCD branching
method. By studying the mass distribution of the colorless clusters, their importance
to phenomenology is examined. Using a cluster phase space model at
the hadronization stage, the results of the Monte Carlo method can be compared
with experimental data. Comparison of the data and the Monte Carlo results is
carried out in the upsilon region. Agreement is generally obtained. Using similar
methods, it is. also possible to predict the behaviors of jets in the toponium
region. It turns out that heavy particle spectra are quite different for various
decay modes of toponium.
