Perturbative vs. Non-Perturbative Scaling Violation in Quark Fragmentation*
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the approach to scaling for non-perturbative quark fragmentation in the framework of the uncorrelated jet model. It is found that subasymptotic kinematic scale breaking is comparable in size to scaling violations from hard gluon emission a la QCD. Experimental data available at present do allow for such non-perturbative scale breaking effects.

Heavy-Quark Fragmentation
We study perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of heavy-quark fragmentation into hadrons, emphasizing the large-x region, where x is the energy fraction of the detected hadron. We first prove that when the moment index N and the quark mass m get large simultaneously with the ratio NΛ/m fixed, the fragmentation function depends on this ratio alone. This opens up the way to formulate the non-...
متن کاملPerturbative and Non-perturbative Issues in Heavy Quark Fragmentation A
We review the state-of-the-art of our understanding of heavy quark fragmentation. Recent e + e − data for B mesons are compared to the most up-to-date theoretical predictions, and the need for inclusion of a non-perturbative component is discussed. Experimental analyses in moments space are suggested, and it is pointed out how perturbative and non-perturbative contributions are to be properly m...
متن کاملMeson B fragmentation function with consideration of mass corrections
Study of B meson (meson with the bottom quark flavor) in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is of special importance so that the detector LHCb is devoted to investigate these types of mesons. For this reason, in this paper we will study the production process of this meson in a phenomenological approach using the experimental data from electron-positron annihilation. In this regards, we shall calculat...
متن کاملUsing Heavy Quark Fragmentation into Heavy Hadrons to Determine QCD Parameters and Test Heavy Quark Symmetry∗
We present a detailed analysis of the use of heavy quark fragmentation into heavy hadrons for testing the heavy quark effective theory through comparison of the measured fragmentation parameters of the c and b quarks. Our analysis is entirely model independent. We interpret the known perturbative evolution in a way useful for exploiting heavy quark symmetry at low energy. We first show consiste...
متن کاملSoft-Gluon Resummation for Bottom Fragmentation in Top Quark Decay
We study soft-gluon radiation in top quark decay within the framework of perturbative fragmentation functions. We present results for the b-quark energy distribution, accounting for soft-gluon resummation to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy in both the MS coefficient function and in the initial condition of the perturbative fragmentation function. The results show a remarkable improvement a...
