Abstract:

Data on jet masses, resulting from the decomposition of e+e- hadronic final states into two hemispheres, are presented at centre of mass energies between 12 and 43.5 GeV. Comparisons are made with bare O(αs2) QCD predictions as well as with QCD based fragmentation models. Values for αs and {Mathematical expression} are determined, both with and without hadronization effects included. Upper and lower limits for {Mathematical expression} independent of fragmentation models have been determined to be 0.480±0.025 GeV and 0.047±0.007 GeV respectively. © 1989 Springer-Verlag.

Abstract:

A b enrichment technique using the long B lifetime has been developed, by which ∼600 hadronic events with >65%b purity are obtained. The properties of the associated jets are studied, with comparisons made between them and those in hadronic data in which b quarks make up only 10% of the total, and jets in Monte Carlo events. The distributions in rapidity and multiplicity yield two new determinations of the fragmentation variable z for b hadrons and confirm that the b fragmentation function is hard. We also present the first measurement of the relative strength of the strong interaction coupling of the b quark compared with the average of all flavours. © 1989 Springer-Verlag.
