We examine the leading-power fragmentation of fully heavy pentaquarks in high-energy hadronic collisions. To this end, we complete the release of the hadron-structure-oriented PQ5Q1.0 fragmentation functions, by discussing the $P_{5c}$ set…
We estimate the non-perturbative power-suppressed corrections to heavy flavour fragmentation and correlation functions in e^+e^- annihilation, using a model based on the analysis of one-loop Feynman graphs containing a massive gluon. This…
Processes involving heavy quarks are a crucial component of the LHC physics program, both by themselves and as backgrounds for Higgs physics and new physics searches. In this work, we critically reconsider the validity of the widely-adopted…
Measurements of heavy quark production in electron-positron collisions are used to analyse the strong interactions between quarks and anti-quarks. A scaling behaviour is observed in distributions of the rapidity change of D*, B*, and B…
The dominant production mechanism for heavy quark-antiquark bound states in very high energy processes is fragmentation, the splitting of a high energy parton into a quarkonium state and other partons. We show that the fragmentation…
The production of the octet of baryons and mesons in e^+ e^- collisions is analysed, based on considerations of SU(3) symmetry and a simple model for SU(3) symmetry breaking in fragmentation functions. All fragmentation functions, D_q^h(x,…
Within the framework of nonrelativistic QCD, we make a detailed discussion on the doubly heavy baryon production through the $e^+ e^-$ annihilation channel, $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow\gamma/Z^0 \rightarrow \Xi_{QQ^{\prime}} +\bar{Q}…
We apply Heavy Quark Effective Theory to the production of $0^-$ and $1^-$ $Q\bar{q}$ states in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation. We show that HQET implies that the electric quadrupole amplitudes vanish and we propose tests for this theory. We also…
Hadron production has been calculated in a pQCD improved parton model for pp, dA and heavy ion collisions. We applied KKP and AKK fragmentation functions. Our jet fragmentation study shows, that hadron ratios at high p_T depend on quark…
We examine hadron multiplicity fluctuations in hard processes and confront analytic QCD predictions with the pattern of multiplicity fluctuations observed in $e^+e^-$ annihilation and high-$p_t$ jets produced in $pp$ collisions at the LHC.…
Using methods of effective field theory, a systematic analysis of the fragmentation functions D_{a/H}(x,m_Q) of a hadron H containing a heavy quark Q is performed (with a=Q,Q_bar,q,q_bar,g). By integrating out pair production of virtual and…
This paper explores the effects of both finite width and interference (with background) in the pair production and decay of extra heavy quarks with charge 2/3 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This dynamics is normally ignored in standard…
The hadronization effects induced by various colour connections of the four quark system in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation are briefly reviewed. A special colour connection of four heavy quark system without colour-separation favours the…
The fragmentation function of a scalar leptoquark into possible S-wave bound states with a heavy anti-quark is calculated to the leading order in perturbative QCD for the high energy processes at large transverse momenta. The one-loop…
By expanding functions of parton fragmentation into a heavy hadron in the inverse of the heavy quark mass $m_Q$ we attempt to factorize them into perturbative- and nonperturbative parts. In our approach the nonperturbative parts can be…
Fragmentation functions of pion, kaon, and nucleon are determined by global analyses of hadron-production data in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. It is particularly important that uncertainties of the fragmentation functions are estimated for the…

The color field of a quark, stripped off in a hard reaction, is regenerated via gluon radiation. The space-time development of a jet is controlled by the coherence time of gluon radiation, which for heavy quarks is subject to the dead-cone…
In this paper we present an analysis of the multiple hadron production induced by primary heavy quarks in e+e- annihilation with the account of most complete and corrected experimental data. In the framework of perturbative QCD, new…
Fragmentation of heavy quarks into heavy-flavoured hadrons receives both perturbative and non-perturbative contributions. We consider perturbative QCD corrections to heavy quark production in $e^+e^-$ collisions to next-to-next-to-leading…
