Description

A kinematic method is considered to estimate the quark mass from e+e-→qq-bar→hadrons. It is based on a well-known linear relationship between the average meson multiplicity and the fireball mass, crucial tests being made with π production by pp collisions and p-barp annihilations. Applied to the multiplicity data of e+e- annihilation from ADONE, the method yields for the effective mass of the light quarks 0.33 +- 0.03 GeV
