Scaling Violation in the Fragmentation Functions in e+e- Annihilation
W. de Boer, T. Kussmaul, IEKP Karlsruhe
Abstract
A determination of the hadronic fragmentation functions of the Z-boson is presented from a study of the inclusive hadron production wit the DELPHI detector at LEP. These fragmentation functions were compared with the ones at lower energies, thus covering data in a large kinematic range: 196 <= Q2 <= 8312 GeV2 and x(= ph/Ebeam) > 0.08 A large scaling violation was observed, which was used to extract the strong coupling constant in second order QCD: alphas(Mz) =0.118 +\- 0.005. The corresponding QCD scale for five quark flavours is: LambdaMSbar = 230 +/- 60 MeV.
