Four-jet events ine +e collisions and the non-Abelian nature of QCD

Abstract

Suitably defined four-jet cross-sections are calculated in standard QCD and in an Abelian vector gluon model. We discuss various distributions that might show a difference between the two models, but the differences are so small that current experiments will not be able to exclude one model in favour of the other.
