Hadronic Z decay charged multiplicity measurement
Experiment: ALEPH (LEP 1)
Inspire ID: 319520
Status: VALIDATED
Authors:

Andy Buckley

References:

Phys. Lett. B, 273, 181 (1991)

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 charged particle multiplicity distribution of hadronic Z decays, as measured on the peak of the Z resonance using the ALEPH detector at LEP. The unfolding procedure was model independent, and the distribution was found to have a mean of $20.85 \pm 0.24$, Comparison with lower energy data supports the KNO scaling hypothesis. The shape of the multiplicity distribution is well described by a log-normal distribution, as predicted from a cascading model for multi-particle production.
