Abstract
On the basis of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and the recombination model the quark decay function is calculated. The inclusive distribution for a quark and an antiquark in a quark jet can be determined by the perturbative method in QCD. The hadronization of quarks and antiquarks is described by a recombination function that is completely fixed in a recent study of the structure function. No free parameters are involved and the agreement with the data is excellent.Keywords
