Hadronic Event Shapes in $B$ Decay

Abstract

We compute the differential momentum correlation function for hadrons produced in the decay of $B$-mesons. This measure of hadronic event shapes tests the free $b$-quark decay picture for nonleptonic and semileptonic decays of $B$-mesons. Our results can also be applied to $B_s$ and ${\Lambda }_b$ decay.
