THE 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 کاملHeavy Quark Electroproduction and the Heavy Quark Contribution to the Proton Structure
New results on charm and beauty electroproduction from the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations at the ep collider HERA are presented. Differential cross sections are compared to a next-to-leading order QCD calculation. The heavy quark contributions, F cc̄ 2 and F bb̄ 2 , to the proton structure function F2 are compared using different experimental techniques. Also, results are shown on the charm fragmenta...

We calculate the process-independent fragmentation functions for a b̄ antiquark to fragment into longitudinally and transversely polarized B c ( S1) mesons to leading order in the QCD strong coupling constant. In the special case of equal quark mass we recover previous results for the fragmentation of c → ψ and b → Υ. Various spin asymmetry parameters are defined as measures of the relative popu...

Nowadays, heavy mesons and baryons are produced and decayed at LHC in abundance. These processes are good sources to study the QCD theory, especially to study the hadron structures. Therefore, the phenomenology of heavy hadrons fragmentation function is a basic and important subject in the Particle Physics. In the present work, we replicate the calculation heavy meson fragmentation function in...
متن کاملHeavy quark fragmentation functions in the heavy quark effective theory.
We calculate fragmentation functions for a b-quark to fragment into color-singlet P-wave bound states c̄b in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory with the exact account of O(1/mb) corrections. We demonstrate an agreement of the obtained results with the corresponding calculations carried out in quantum chromodynamics. Introduction. The study of heavy quarkonia properties is a subject of much current...
