Abstract
An original method for constructing parton final states
emphasising the multi-element antenna pattern and colour connectedness
between partons is presented. The approach should allow event-by-event
reconstruction of parton final states from detector registered particles
while avoiding the ad hoc effects of a jet algorithm. This
strategy connecting soft hadrons to a set of partons rather than jets is
demonstrated for 
-events and is applicable to 
pair, top quark, Higgs, etc., production.
