Asymmetric Quark/Antiquark Hadronization
نویسنده
چکیده
We point out that the fragmentation of a strange quark into nucleons versus antinucleons is not necessarily identical Dp/s(z,Q ) 6= Dp/s(z,Q ), even though the perturbative contributions from gluon splitting and evolution are p ↔ p symmetric. The observation of such asymmetries in the hadronization of strange and other heavy quarks can provide insight into the nonperturbative mechanisms underlying jet fragmentation in QCD.

Asymmetric Quark/Antiquark Hadronization in ee Annihilation
We point out that the fragmentation of a strange quark into nucleons versus antinucleons is not necessarily identical Dp=s(z;Q 2) 6= Dp=s(z;Q 2), even though the perturbative contributions from gluon splitting and evolution are p $ p symmetric. The observation of such asymmetries in the hadronization of strange and other heavy quarks can provide insight into the nonperturbative mechanisms under...
متن کاملImpact Representation of Generalized Distribution Amplitudes
We develop an impact representation for the generalized distribution amplitude which describes the exclusive hadronization of a quark-antiquark pair to a pair of mesons. Experiments such as γγ → ππ and γN → ππN ′ are shown to probe the transverse size of the hadronization region of the quark antiquark pair that one can interpret as the transverse overlap of the two emerging mesons. An astonishi...
متن کاملStatistical Hadronization of Charm in Heavy Ion Collisions
Production of open and hidden charm hadrons in heavy ion collisions is considered within the statistical coalescence model (SCM). Charmed quark-antiquark pairs are assumed to be created at the initial stage of the reaction in hard parton collisions. The number of these pairs is conserved during the evolution of the system. At hadronization, the charmed (anti)quarks are distributed among open an...
متن کاملHadronization Cross–sections at the Chiral Phase Transition of a Quark Plasma
Hadronization at finite temperature T is discussed in the framework of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. The differential cross-section for the conversion of a quark– antiquark pair into two pions to first order in a 1/N c expansion is calculated as a function of the c.m. energy s and temperature T. In particular, approaching the temperature T c of the chiral phase transition, the hadronization cro...
متن کاملEnergy dependence of transverse quark flow in heavy ion collisions
Energy dependence of quark transverse flow carries information about dynamical properties (equation of state, initial conditions) of deconfined matter produced in heavy ion collisions. We assume quark-antiquark matter formation in Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS and Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies and determine quark transverse flow at the critical temperature of the quark-hadron phase transitio...
