dc.description.abstract	In this thesis we compare the transverse momentum of speciﬁc particle species for PYTHIA datasets in pp events with a center of mass energy of 7 TeV. We compare the results for a PYTHIA dataset where the colour reconnection (CR) mechanism is switched on and a PYTHIA dataset where the CR mechanism is switched oﬀ. The overall mean pT for events CR events is signiﬁcantly higher than for no CR events. The eﬀects of CR seems to be more prominent in heavier particles. The data seems to suggest a linear mass dependence for the increase in pT.
