Δ++ Production in Hadronic Z0 Decays

Experiment: OPAL (LEP 1)

Inspire ID: 398320

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - Peter Richardson

References: - Phys.Lett.B358:162-172,1995

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 Δ++ baryons measured using 3.5 million Z0 events by the OPAL experiment at LEP. Only the fragmentation function is implemented.
