The negative binomial distribution in quark jets with fixed flavour
Abstract
We show that both the multiplicity distribution and the ratio of factorial cumulants over factorial moments for 2-jet events in e+e- annihilation at the Z0 peak can be well reproduced by the weighted superposition of two negative binomial distributions, associated to the contribution of b b and light flavoured events respectively. The negative binomial distribution is then suggested to describe the multiplicity distribution of 2-jet events with fixed flavour.
