%0 Journal Article %T A Generalised Area Law for Hadronic String Reinteractions %A Johan Rathsman %J Physics %D 1998 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/S0370-2693(99)00291-9 %X 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. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9812423v2
