A study of the fragmentation of quarks in ep collisions at HERA
نویسنده
چکیده
Low x deep inelastic ep scattering data taken in using the H detector at HERA are analysed in the Breit frame of reference The evolution of the peak and width of the fragmentation function is presented as a function of the magni tude of the four momentum transfer of the exchanged photon Q and compared with e e results at equivalent centre of mass energies Clear evidence for scaling violations in ep fragmentation functions as a function of Q is shown Di erences between the average charged multiplicity and the multiplicity of e e annihila tions at low energies are discussed

Charm fragmentation and excited charm and charm-strange mesons at ZEUS
Charm hadrons were produced copiously in ep collisions with a centre-of-mass energy of 318GeV at HERA providing a means to study charm hadronisation. During first phase of the HERA operation (1992-2000), the ZEUS collaboration accumulated data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of ∼ 120 pb. Measurements of the D, D, D and Λc production a with the HERA I data were used to determine...
متن کاملParticle Production at Hera ∗
Particle production has been studied in ep collisions with the H1 and ZEUS detectors at HERA. Charged particle spectra were measured in deep inelastic scattering. Predictions from Monte Carlo generators with different models of parton evolution were compared to the data. The production of the neutral strange hadrons K S and Λ 0 was measured and was used to test various fragmentation models. Nex...
متن کاملHeavy Flavour Production with Leptons and Hadrons
The production of charm and beauty quarks in γγ collisions at LEP, ep collisions at HERA and p¯ p collisions at the Tevatron is discussed. The comparison with predictions of next-to-leading-order QCD and the issues it raises are detailed. In particular, the strengths and weaknesses of the measurements and predictions are discussed.
متن کاملLarge - p T Photoproduction of D ∗ ± Mesons in ep Collisions
The cross section for the inclusive photoproduction of large-p T D * ± mesons is calculated at next-to-leading order, adopting different approaches to describe the fragmentation of charm quarks into D * ± mesons. We treat the charm quark according to the massless factorization scheme, where it is assumed to be one of the active flavours inside the proton and the photon. We present inclusive sin...
متن کاملSearch for Single Top Production in ep Collisions at HERA ∗
In this talk a search for the single production of top quarks performed at the H1 experiment is presented. No evidence for anomalous top production via FCNC processes is found and limits on the anomalous magnetic coupling constant κtuγ are given.
