Quark fragmentation functions and long-range correlations ine + e annihilation at 29 GeV

Abstract

We study long-range correlations between hadrons in opposite jets ine + e annihilation events at\(\sqrt s \)=29 GeV. We use the data to measure differences between quark and antiquark fragmentation functions into charged hadrons, and to estimate the variation of fragmentation properties among quark flavors. We find large variations in longitudinal fragmentation functions, but universal mean transverse momenta of hadrons in jets.

  8. We will often refer toN rms as the “average non-singlet fragmentation function” in a sense thatN rms(ξ) approximates the average magnitudeΣɛ q N q (ξ)∣ of non-singlet distributions; given the statistical accuracy of the data, the difference between this linear average and the quadratic average is essentially negligible.
