String fragmentation with a time-dependent tension

Abstract Motivated by recent theoretical arguments that expanding strings can be regarded as having a temperature that is inversely proportional to the proper time, $$\tau $$ τ , we investigate the consequences of adding a term $$\propto 1/\tau $$ ∝ 1 / τ to the string tension in the Lund string-had...
