Multiplicity with a Thrust Cut

Abstract

We evaluate the multiplicity of hadrons in the e+ee^+e^--annihilation at a given thrust TT in the modified leading-log approximation, including O(αs)O(\sqrt{\alpha_s}) corrections. The calculation is done at a large value of τ=1T\tau =1-T by the use of the factorisation which takes place in the one-particle-inclusive cross section at a given τ\tau. At a small τ\tau, a different type of factorisation takes place, which also enable us to evaluate the multiplicity. Two approaches are compared numerically. Measuring this quantity near τ=1/3\tau =1/3, we can determine the multiplicity ratio between a gluon-jet and a quark-jet.
