η and ω Production in Hadronic Z0 Decays

Experiment: OPAL (LEP 1)

Inspire ID: 569165

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - Peter Richardson

References: - Phys.Lett. B528 (2002) 19-33 - hep-ex/0201012

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)

The production of η and ω mesons measured using 4 million Z0 events by the ALEPH experiment at LEP. Only the fragmentation functions are implemented.
