Abstract
While the hard phase of the strong interaction is well described by perturb ative QCD, the soft hadronization phase is less understood. Benefiting from the high statistics from e(+)e(-) experiments at the Z(o) resonance, it is possible to impose strong two-jet cuts on the data without losing the stat istical significance. In these events perturbative activity is suppressed a nd hadronization effects can be more prominent. We show that after proper e vent cuts a set of observables are sensitive to differences in the hadroniz ation models. These observables can thus be important teals for a more deta iled study of the hadronization mechanism.
