multihadron production for e e for from 50 to 61 gev, c. m. energies and comparison with multihadron production in hadronic interactions

average values of< 1- t >where t is the thrust are presented for e: e: amy data and are compared with their values in hadronic interactions. as far as possible, similar analysis techniques have been employed in the two different interactions. similar variation with e is observed for this average in both data. the values of < pt> and < pl > relative to the thrust axis in e e are similar to those in hadronic interactions. the thrust distributions at the same energies for the two different data are in rather good agreement at the higher t values. at the lower t values, however, the e e distribution shows more enhancement than that for hadronic interactions. we discuss a possible explanation for all these features.
