Description
We study a few possible modifications to the Pythia string fragmentation: a new model for generating the transverse momentum of hadrons, inspired by thermodynamics, the effect of close-packing of strings, and a simple model for hadron rescattering. We present the modified predictions and compare to data as well as to default Pythia.
