Asymmetries in heavy meson production from light quark fragmentation

  • 1. IST, Lisboa (Portugal). Dept. de Fisica

Description

We discuss the possibility of the asymmetry in D-/D+ production from π- beams, being a direct consequence of the properties of the light quark fragmentation function into heavy mesons. The main features of the asymmetry, as a function of xF, are easily described. An integrated sum rule for the D-, D+ multiplicity difference is presented. Predictions for the asymmetry in B meson production are given. (orig.)
