Jet fragmentation and MLLA

Recent CDF results in inclusive momentum distributions and multiplicities of particles in restricted cones around jets are compared to predictions using the Modified Leading Log Approximation. The authors found that MLLA gives a very reasonable description of jet fragmentation for a wide range of energies. Model parameters are extracted separately from the multiplicity and from the shape of the momentum distributions and are found to agree. The ratio of charged particle multiplicities in the gluon and quark jets measured in the context of MLLA is compared to the model-independent result and also found to agree
