DELPHI_2002_069_CONF_603

Study of the b-quark fragmentation function at LEP 1
Experiment: DELPHI (LEP 1)
Status: OBSOLETE
Authors:
  • Hendrik Hoeth
References:
  • DELPHI note 2002-069-CONF-603 (ICHEP 2002)
Beams: e+ e-
Beam energies: (45.6, 45.6) GeV
Run details:
  • Hadronic Z decay events generated on the Z pole ($\sqrt{s} = 91.2$ GeV)

Measurement of the $b$-quark fragmentation function by DELPHI using 1994 LEP 1 data. The fragmentation function for both weakly decaying and primary $b$-quarks has been determined in a model independent way. Nevertheless the authors trust $f(x_B^\text{weak})$ more than $f(x_B^\text{prim})$. Note --- this analysis is superseded by DELPHI_2011_I890503.
