An Improved Measurement of the b Quark Fragmentation Function in Z Decays
We present preliminary results of a new measurement of the b quark fragmentation function in Z decays using a novel kinematic B hadron energy reconstruction technique. The measurement is performed using 150,000 hadronic Z events recorded in the SLD experiment at SLAC between 1996 and 1997. The small and stable SLC beam spot and the CCD-based vertex detector are used to reconstruct topological B...
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 کاملPrecise measurement of the b-quark fragmentation function in Z0 boson decays
We have developed a new technique for inclusive reconstruction of the energy of B hadrons. The excellent efficiency and resolution of this technique allow us to make the most precise determination of the b-quark fragmentation function, using e(+)e(-)-->Z0 decays recorded in the SLAC Large Detector experiment. We compared our measurement with the predictions of a number of fragmentation models. ...
متن کاملB physics at the Z 0 resonance
B physics results from ee annihilation at the Z resonance are reviewed. A vast program is summarised, including the study of B, B0d, B 0 s and b baryon lifetimes, the time dependence of B0d–B 0 d and B0s–B 0 s oscillations, the width difference in the B0s–B 0 s system, and the measurements of the magnitudes of the CKM matrix elements Vcb and Vub.
متن کاملLight Quark Fragmentation in Polarized Z 0 Decays at SLD ∗
We report results on two physics topics from the SLD experiment at the SLAC Linear Collider, using our full sample of 550,000 events of the type e + e − → Z 0 → q ¯ q. The electron beam was polarized, enabling the quark and antiquark hemispheres to be tagged in each event. One physics topic is the first study of rapidities signed such that positive rapidity is along the quark rather than antiqu...
