Abstract
The Artru-Mennessier model for the breakup of strings of colour connecting partons yields a continuous hadron spectrum. I show how the same physical picture may be implemented with a spectrum of discrete hadrons, the Artru-Mennessier model being recovered in the limit of a dense spectrum. As in the Artru-Mennessier model, fragmentation functions are mass dependent and heavy hadrons are dynamically suppressed relative to lighter.
