Abstract

A method is proposed to identify gluon jets in the planar hadronic events recently found in e+e- annihilation. If a fast hadron is detected at a given angle θh ≲ 30° with respect to the axis opposite to the thrust axis, it is most probably a quark (or antiquark) fragment. An explicit formula then predicts the angle and energy of the unbiased accompanying gluon.
