Hadronization corrections to helicity components of the fragmentation function
arXiv:hep-ph/0104118 · doi:10.1007/BF01648782
Abstract
In the hadronic decays of Z, gluon emission leads to the appearance of the longitudinal component of the fragmentation function, F_L. Measurement of F_L and the transverse component, F_T, could thus provide an insight into the gluon fragmentation function. However, hadronization corrections at low x can be significant. Here we present a method of accounting for such corrections, using the JETSET event generator as illustration.
