Rivet analyses

Study of the b-quark fragmentation function at LEP 1

Experiment: DELPHI (LEP1)

Inspire ID: 890503

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - Holger Schulz

References: - 10.1140/epjc/s10052-011-1557-x

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