The Evolution of Hadron Spectra in the Modified Leading Logarithm Approximation

Abstract

We perform fits of ${\Lambda }_{\mathrm{QCD}}$ and the gluon fragmentation function $D(x,Q)$ at initial scale $Q_0\gg {\Lambda }_{\mathrm{QCD}}$ to charged light hadron momentum spectra data by evolving in the Modified Leading Logarithm Approximation. Without additional assumptions, we achieve a good description of the available data for $\xi =\ln (1/x)$ up to and around the Gaussian peak, and values of ${\Lambda }_{\mathrm{QCD}}$ acceptably close to those in the literature. In particular, we find that this procedure describes the position of the peak, and, in contrast to the Limiting Spectrum, also the normalization.
