H. Albrecht et al., INCLUSIVE PRODUCTION OF K-ASTERISK (892), P(O)(770), AND OMEGA(783) MESONS IN THE GAMMA-ENERGY REGION, Zeitschrift fur Physik. C, Particles and fields, 61(1), 1994, pp. 1-17
The production of K+ (892), K*0(892), rho0(770) and omega (783) vecto
r mesons in qqBAR events as well as in the gluonic UPSILON (1S) decays
and UPSILON(4S) --> BBBAR decays has been studied using the ARGUS det
ector. Combining these results with data on pseudoscalar meson, phi me
son and baryon production collected with the same detector allow compr
ehensive studies of quark and gluon fragmentation. Model independent i
nformation on s quark and vector meson suppression (s/u = 0.37 +/- 0.0
4, V/(V+P)pi = 0.21 +/- 0.04 and V/(V+P)K = 0.34 +/- 0.03)) are derive
d. The data are compared with predictions from the models Jetset 7.3 a
nd UCLA 7.31.
