Study of the b-quark fragmentation function at LEP 1
Experiment: DELPHI (LEP1)
Inspire ID: 890503
Status: VALIDATED

Beams: e+ e-
Beam energies: (45.6, 45.6) GeV

  • 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 weakly decaying $b$-quarks has been determined in a model independent way. Note --- this analysis supersedes DELPHI_2002_069_CONF_603.
