result is therefore the diquark/quark ratio in the splitting process, together with the extra suppression of strange diquarks beyond the $s/u$ suppression. A detailed description of the parameters involved in baryon production within the Lund model is presented in [appendix [\[sec:deta-descr-rope\]]{}]{}.

We here also want to point out that, besides the different parameters, it is also very important to take into account that a produced baryon must be symmetric in flavour and spin, in order to preserve SU(3) flavour symmetry (as is done in the [P]{}generator).

Effects of a modified string tension {#sec:modifiedtension}
------------------------------------

We will in this paper assume that a rope breaks up by the repeated production of $q\bar{q}$ pairs, as expected from an analogy with $e^+e^-$ pair production in QED. As mentioned in the introduction, and discussed in detail in [section [\[sec:ropes\]]{}]{}, a rope formed by $n$ elementary strings with random charges, can in general be fully extinguished by a number of $q\bar{q}$ pairs smaller than or equal to $n$. Here $n$ breakups will be needed in case the colour charges combine to the highest possible multiplet. As can be understood from the tunneling mechanism, the “effective string tension”, to be inserted in [eqs. (\[eq:schwinger\])]{} and [(\[eq:schwinger2\])]{}
