Soft-Gluon Resummation for Bottom Fragmentation in Top Quark Decay
We study soft-gluon radiation in top quark decay within the framework of perturbative fragmentation functions. We present results for the b-quark energy distribution, accounting for soft-gluon resummation to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy in both the MS coefficient function and in the initial condition of the perturbative fragmentation function. The results show a remarkable improvement a...
متن کاملFragmentation of bottom quarks in top quark decay
We review the main aspects of the fragmentation of bottom quarks in top quark decay. The NLO b-quark energy spectrum presents large mass logarithms ln(mt/m 2 b), which can be resummed by the use of the approach of perturbative fragmentation functions. Large soft contributions in both coefficient function and initial condition of the perturbative fragmentation function have been resummed as well...
متن کاملA Phenomenological Study of Bottom Quark Fragmentation in Top Quark Decay at Hadron Colliders
Top-quark physics is one of the main fields of investigation at the Tevatron accelerator and, ultimately, at the LHC. We perform a phenomenological analysis of tt̄ events at hadron colliders, with a focus on observables relying on bottom-quark fragmentation in top-quark decay. In particular, we investigate the B-lepton invariant-mass distribution in the dilepton channel and give an estimate of t...
متن کاملTHE ROLE OF QUARK POLARIZATION IN HEAVY QUARK FRAGMENTATION
We calculate the exact fragmentation functions for c and b quark fragmentation taking into account the spin orientation of the initial heavy quark in the form of analytical and rather simple expressions. Our calculations show that spin orientation may have an important effect on the fragmentation spectrum. This effect is more striking in the cases of c ?D, D*; c? ? , ? , and ?B , B *.
متن کاملProgress in bottom - quark fragmentation
I review recent progress on bottom-quark fragmentation in e + e − annihilation, top-quark decay and H → b ¯ b processes. I discuss the implementation of collinear and soft resummation, and the inclusion of non-perturbative information taken from LEP and SLD data. Heavy-quark physics is currently one of the major fields of investigation in experimental and theoretical particle physics. In order ...
