We have developed a new technique for inclusive reconstruction of the energy of B hadrons. The excellent efficiency and resolution of this technique allow us to make the most precise determination of the b-quark fragmentation function,…
We have measured the B hadron energy distribution in Z0 decays using a sample of semi-leptonic B decays recorded in the SLD experiment at SLAC. The energy of each tagged B hadron was reconstructed using information from the lepton and a…
A study of b quark hadronisation is presented using inclusively reconstructed B hadrons in about four million hadronic Z decays recorded in 1992-2000 with the OPAL detector at LEP. The data are compared to different theoretical models, and…
We present preliminary results on three SLD analyses: the gluon energy spectrum in 3-jet bbg events, the rate of g->bb, and the b fragmentation function in Z0 decays. The gluon energy spectrum, measured over the full kinematic range, is…
We have made the first measurement of the double-inclusive B/Bbar energy distribution in e+e- annihilations, using a sample of 400,000 hadronic Z0 decay events recorded in the SLD experiment at SLAC between 1996 and 1998. The small and…
We present results of three SLD analyses: our final determination of the rate of gluon splitting into b-bbar, an improved measurement of the inclusive b quark fragmentation function in Z0 decays, and a preliminary first measurement of the…
We present new studies of 3-jet final states from hadronic $Z^0$ decays recorded by the SLD experiment, in which jets are identified as quark, antiquark or gluon. Our gluon energy spectrum, measured over the full kinematic range, is…
I will review new studies of b-quark fragmentation performed at the Z peak by ALEPH and SLD. An improved sensitivity to distinguish between fragmentation model and more accurate measurements of the mean b-hadron scaled energy have been…
A measurement of inclusive semileptonic branching fractions of b hadrons produced in Z decays is presented. An enriched Z -> bbbar sample is obtained with a lifetime flavour-tagging technique. The leptonic events are then selected from this…
The nature of b-quark jet hadronisation has been investigated using data taken at the Z peak by the DELPHI detector at LEP. Two complementary methods are used to reconstruct the energy of weakly decaying b-hadrons, E^weak_B. The average…
The fragmentation of b quarks into B mesons is studied with four million hadronic Z decays collected by the ALEPH experiment during the years 1991-1995. A semi-exclusive reconstruction of B->l nu D(*) decays is performed, by combining…
We present selected results on strong interaction physics from the SLD experiment at the SLAC Linear Collider. We report on several new studies of 3- and 4-jet hadronic Z decays, in which jets are identified as quark, antiquark or gluon.…
The study of inclusive semileptonic decays of $B$ mesons is analyzed from the viewpoint of probing hadron structure and strong interactions. General formulas for the differential decay rates are given in terms of the structure functions in…
We study the fragmentation of the b quark in top decay in NLO QCD, within the framework of perturbative fragmentation, which allows one to resum large logarithms $\sim\log (m_t^2/m_b^2)$. We show the b-energy distribution, which we compare…
We set a preliminary 95% C.L. exclusion on the oscillation frequency of $B_s^0 - \bar{B_s^0}$ mixing using a sample of 400,000 hadronic $Z^0$ decays collected by the SLD experiment at the SLC during the 1996-98 run. Three analyses are…
In the Standard Model, b quarks produced in e^+e^- annihilation at the Z^0 peak have a large average longitudinal polarization of -0.94. Some fraction of this polarization is expected to be transferred to b-flavored baryons during…
We present a preliminary measurement of the rate of gluon splitting into bottom quarks, g -> b bbar, in hadronic Z0 decays collected by SLD between 1996 and 1998. The analysis was performed by looking for secondary bottom production in…
We set a preliminary 95% C.L. exclusion on the oscillation frequency of B0s - B0s-bar mixing using a sample of 400,000 hadronic Z0 decays collected by the SLD experiment at the SLC between 1996 and 1998. The analyses determine the b-hadron…
