Production of Charged π ± , K ± and p / p̄ in Hadronic Z 0 Decays

چکیده
We have updated our results on identified charged hadron production using the full SLD data sample of 550,000 hadronic Z 0 decays taken between 1993 and 1998. The SLD Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector allows the identification of clean samples of charged pions, kaons and protons over a wide momentum range, providing precise tests of perturbative QCD calculations and of fragmentation models. We have studied flavor-inclusive Z 0 decays, as well as decays into light, c and b flavors, selected using the SLD vertex detector. In addition we have updated our comparison of hadron and antihadron production in light quark (rather than antiquark) jets, selected using the high SLC electron beam polarization. Differences between hadron and antihadron production at high momentum fraction provide precise measurements of leading particle production and new, stringent tests of fragmentation models.

We have measured the differential cross sections for the production of π, K, K, K(892), φ(1020), p and Λ in hadronic Z decays and in subsets of flavor-tagged Z → light quark (uū, dd̄, or ss̄) , Z → cc̄ and Z → bb̄ events. Charged hadrons were identified with the SLD Cherenkov ring imaging detector. The vertex detector was employed to select flavor enriched samples and the polarized electron beam fr...

متن کاملNew Bose-einstein Results from L3
In hadronic Z decays, we compare Bose-Einstein correlations in π 0 pairs with those in identical charged pion pairs. We also measure Bose-Einstein correlations in triplets of identical charged pions. From the first study, the source radius is found to be smaller for π 0-π 0 than for π ±-π ± , as would be expected, e.g., in a string model. However, the second study shows that the data are consis...

Representing the SLD collaboration We present measurements of identified charged hadron production over a wide momentum range using the SLD Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector. In addition to studying particle production in flavor-inclusive Z 0 decays, we compare the production in decays into light, c and b flavor events. We also examine particle production in gluon jets with that in light quark je...
