Total hadron multiplicities and multiplicities of hadrons in events with heavy quarks in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at the energies of LEP-1.5 and LEP-2 are calculated on the basis of QCD.
We examine the physics content of fragmentation functions for inclusive hadron production in a quark jet and argue that it can be calculated in low energy effective theories. As an example, we present a calculation of $u$-quark…
New results reported at the Moriond-QCD 2003 conference from the experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, L3, and OPAL on the structure of the photon as well as heavy quark production in gammagamma collisions are presented. The hadronic structure of the…
The formation of hadrons is a fundamental process in nature that can be investigated at particle colliders. As several recent findings demonstrate, with $\mathrm{e^+e^-}$ collisions as a "vacuum-like" reference at one extreme, and central…
We propose a new procedure for parton-to-hadron fragmentation in proton-proton collisions. The hadronization is considered in the parton-parton center-of-mass system and hadrons are assumed to be emitted in the direction of outgoing partons…
We have measured the differential cross sections for the production of $\pi^{\pm}, K^{\pm}, K^0, K^{*0}, \Phi, p$ and $\Lambda$ in hadronic $Z^0$ decays and in subsets of flavor-tagged $Z^0 \to$ light quark ($u \bar{u}$, $d \bar{d}$, or $s…

Hadronization corrections to the predictions of perturbative QCD are reviewed. The existing models for the conversion of quarks and gluons into hadrons are summarized. The most successful models give a good description of the data on…
In these proceedings, we summarise the results of the recent calculation of the NNLO QCD corrections for the production of a top-quark pair in association with a bottom-flavoured hadron. The results consist of differential distributions of…
The fragmentation functions for $c$ or $\bar{b}$ quark to $B_c$ or $B_c^*$ meson are derived up to QCD next-to-leading order (NLO). They are further computed numerically and presented in figures precisely. In order to reach a higher…
We study hadronization of the final state in a particle-antiparticle annihilation using a holographic gravity dual description of QCD. At the point of hadronization we match the events to a simple (Gaussian) energy distribution in the five…
Adopting the complete $\alpha_s^4$ approach of the perturbative QCD (pQCD) and updated parton distribution functions, we have estimated the hadronic production of $P$-wave excited $B_c$-states ($B_{cJ,L=1}^*$). In the estimate, special care…
A large data set collected at the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions during Runs 1 and 2 of the Large Hadron Collider has opened a unique possibility to study heavy beauty hadron states and to broaden knowledge of their…
The relative production rate of $B^{0}_{s}$ and $B^{0}$ mesons is determined with the hadronic decays $B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow D^{-}_{s}\pi^{+}$ and $B^0 \rightarrow D^{-}K^{+}$. The measurement uses data corresponding to 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ of…
The four LEP experiments and the SLD detector have measured the Z partial widths for Z decays into b and c quarks and the corresponding forward-backward asymmetries at centre-of-mass energies close to the Z boson mass. The results yield a…
A comparative study of the full $\alpha_s^4$ perturbative QCD calculation of the hadronic production of the $B_c$ and $B_c^*$ mesons and the fragmentation approximation is presented. We examined the various subprocesses in detail and the…
Some data on the ratio of vector to vector + pseudoscalar mesons, V/(V+P), and the probability of helicity zero vector states, rho_00, are now available from LEP. A possible relation between these two quantities and their interpretation in…
We consider the fragmentation of heavy quarks into heavy-flavoured hadrons, specifically the production of charmed mesons in $e^+e^-$ collisions, at different centre-of-mass energies. We focus our attention on the ratio of moments of the…
The production of pairs of hadrons in hadronic collisions is studied using a next-to-leading-order Monte Carlo program based on the phase space slicing technique. Up-to-date fragmentation functions based on fits to LEP data are employed,…
The production of photons accompanied by jets in large-Q2 deep inelastic ep scattering is calculated in next-to-leading order. We describe how to consistently include contributions from quark-to-photon fragmentation and give numerical…
