Abstract: (Elsevier)
The color structure of an arbitrary QCD diagram is studied. A basis for the color form factors of a generic amplitude is suggested, in which all the coherence effects are automatically and simply accounted for to the leading order in N c . Some applications of this formalism are given for tree-level amplitudes describing processes with one or two pairs of fermions and radiation of gluons and photons. The different coherence properties of the abelian and non-abelian radiation are exhibited with some analytic and explicit examples, leading to the appearance of string-effect-like correlations for hard non-abelian radiation.
