Spectroscopy and Charm Quark Fragmentation
نویسنده
چکیده
The large data sample accumulated at the KEKB storage ring allows for dedicated analysis in charm spectroscopy. This made the first observations of e.g. the broad D∗∗ resonances in B decays as well as other processes possible. The observation of the DsJ(2317) resonances are confirmed and indications of their quantum numbers are given. The fragmentation function for D has been measured with unprecedented

J/ψ production via fragmentation at HERA
We compute the contributions to large-pT J/ψ production at HERA coming from fragmentation of gluons and charm quarks. We find that the charm quark fragmentation contribution dominates over the direct production of J/ψ via photon-gluon fusion at large-pT , while the gluon fragmentation is negligibly small over the whole range of pT . An experimental study of pT distributions of J/ψ at HERA will ...
متن کاملRemark on Charm Quark Fragmentation To
The observed D mesons have cq̄ flavor quantum numbers and spin-parity of the light degrees of freedom sl l = 3/2 +. In the mc → ∞ limit the spin of the charm quark is conserved and the c → D fragmentation process is characterized by the probability for the charm quark to fragment to a D meson with a given helicity for the light degrees of freedom. We consider the calculated b → B c fragmentation...
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 کاملHeavy Quark Fragmentation in Deep Inelastic Scattering
We perform an analysis of semi-inclusive production of charm (D-mesons) in neutral current (NC) and charged current (CC) deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at full O(α s). Our calculation is based on the heavy quark scheme developed by Aivazis, Collins, Olness and Tung (ACOT) where we include anO(α s) calculation of quark scattering contributions for general masses and couplings. We review the rel...
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...
