Description
Recent progress on colour reconnection within the PYTHIA framework
is presented. A new model is introduced, based on the SU(3) structure
of QCD and a minimization of the potential string energy. The
inclusion of the epsilon structure of SU(3) gives a new baryon
production mechanism and makes it possible simultaneously to describe
hyperon production at both ee and pp colliders. Further
comparisons with soft QCD measurements are also presented, as well as
a study of the effects on the top mass uncertainty. Here additional toy
models are also considered. Finally, predictions for ee colliders, both
past and potential future ones, are presented.
