چکیده
Using recent measurements of the b-quark fragmentation distribution obtained in e+e− → bb events registered at the Z pole, the non-perturbative QCD component of the distribution has been extracted independently of any hadronic physics modelling. This distribution depends only on the way the perturbative QCD component has been defined. When the perturbative QCD component is taken from a parton shower Monte-Carlo, the non-perturbative QCD component is rather similar with those obtained from the Lund or Bowler models. When the perturbative QCD component is the result of an analytic NLL computation, the non-perturbative QCD component has to be extended in a non-physical region and thus cannot be described by any hadronic modelling. In the two examples used to characterize these two situations, which are studied at present, it happens that the extracted non-perturbative QCD distribution has the same shape, being simply translated to higher-x values in the second approach, illustrating the ability of the analytic perturbative QCD approach to account for softer gluon radiation than with a parton shower generator.

We present results for two-loop QCD corrections to the short distance coefficient that governs leptonic decay of Bc-meson. After brief discussion of the technics of asymptotic threshold expansion used to perform this calculation, we give comments on the numerical value of twoloop corrections and its impact on NRQCD description of Bc-meson bound state dynamics.

We compute the off-forward diagonal (non-skewed) non-singlet generalized parton distribution of the pion in two distinct chiral quark models: the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with the Pauli-Villars regulator and the Spectral Quark Model. The analysis is carried out in the impact-parameter space. Leading-order perturbative QCD evolution is carried out via the inverse Mellin transform in the index sp...

We study the fragmentation of the b quark in top decay in NLO QCD, within the framework of perturbative fragmentation, which allows one to resum large logarithms ∼ log(m 2 t /m 2 b). We show the b-energy distribution, which we compare with the exact O(α S) result for a massive b quark. We use data from e + e − machines in order to describe the b-quark hadronization and make predictions for the ...
