THE MULTIPLICITY OF HEAVY QUARK PAIRS FROM GLUON SPLITTING IN ee ANNIHILATION
نویسنده
چکیده
I will briefly review the progress which has been made in the investigation of secondary heavy quark production at LEP. I will show why a calculation of the secondary heavy quark multiplicity, keeping the dependence on an event shape variable, is essential for better exploitation of data, and I will present the results of such a calculation. This will be compared to Monte Carlo studies.

Secondary Heavy Quark Pair Production in ee Annihilation
The multiplicity of heavy quarks from gluon splitting in ee annihilation has now been theoretically calculated and experimentally measured at LEP. However, the experimental measurement requires theoretical input for the shape of the multiplicity with respect to an event shape. In this paper we calculate the multiplicity of heavy quarks from gluon splitting in ee annihilation as a function of th...
متن کاملHeavy Quark Pair Multiplicity in E + E ? Events
We calculate the multiplicity of heavy quark pairs in e + e ? annihilation events, which arises from perturbative gluon splitting. Our result is exact to leading order in s ; and resums large leading and next-to-leading logarithmic terms to all orders. We compare our results with Monte Carlo models, and nd reasonable agreement with those based on the parton shower approach.
متن کاملThe Subjet Multiplicity in Quark and Gluon Jets
We calculate the mean number of subjets in quark and gluon jets in the final state of ee annihilation. Since “quark” and “gluon” jets are schemedependent objects, we stress the importance of using the same definition as in experimental analyses. We define the jets using the k⊥ algorithm at a coarse scale y1, and the subjets using a finer scale y0, in the same algorithm. Gluon jets are anti-tagg...
متن کاملBaryon Number Fluctuation and the Quark-Gluon Plasma
Because of the fractional baryon number of quarks, baryon and antibaryon number fluctuations in the quark-gluon plasma is less than those in the hadronic matter, making them plausible signatures for the quark-gluon plasma expected to be formed in relativistic heavy ion collisions. To illustrate this possibility, we have introduced a kinetic model that takes into account both production and anni...
متن کاملتوزیع تکانه عرضی و تابش گلویون درفرآیندهای نابودی e+e - درانرژی مرکزجرم 60GeV
We report on an experimental comparison of the characteristics of quark-induced jets based on an analysis of jet events selected from hadronic events at c.m. energy of 60 GeV in e+e- annihilations. The triangle plot shows that the majority are two-jet events. The three-jet events are also present but not as many as two-jet events. The mean transverse momentum is larger for three-jet events th...
