Properties of gluon and quark jets

This is a summary of the latest results of the DELPHI collaboration on the properties of quark and identified gluon jets. It covers the measurement of the quark and gluon splitting kernels, the fragmentation functions of gluon and quark jets and their scaling violation behavior as well as an analysis of the scale dependence of the multiplicities of gluon and quark jets. Further, a precision measurement of C/sub A//C/sub F/ from the multiplicities in symmetric three jet events is discussed. (20 refs).
