Specific Features of Heavy Quark Production. LPHD approach to heavy particle spectra

arXiv:hep-ph/9506425 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.53.89

Abstract

Perturbative QCD formula for inclusive energy spectra of heavy quarks from heavy quark initiated jets which takes into account collinear and/or soft logarithms in all orders, the exact first order result and two-loop effects is applied to distributions of heavy flavoured hadrons in the framework of the LPHD concept. Fits to experimentally measured charm and bottom mean energy losses result in $α_{\MSbar}(M_Z)=0.125\pm 0.003\pm 0.004$ and $(2\GeV)^{-1}\int_0^{2\GeV} dk α_s^{eff}(k)= 0.18\pm 0.01\pm 0.02$ with an infrared finite effective QCD coupling.
