QCD description of high order factorial moments in quark and gluon jets

Abstract

The complete QCD evolution equation for factorial moments in quark and gluon jets is numerically solved with initial conditions at threshold by fully taking into account the energy-momentum conservation law. Within the picture of Local Parton Hadron Duality, the perturbative QCD predictions can successfully describe the available experimental data.
