Ms. Alam et al., STUDY OF GLUON VERSUS QUARK FRAGMENTATION IN Y-]GG-GAMMA AND E(-)-]Q(Q)OVER-BAR-GAMMA EVENTS AT ROOT-S=10 GEV()E(), Physical review. D. Particles and fields, 56(1), 1997, pp. 17-22
Using data collected with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron
Storage Ring, we determine the ratio R-chrg for the mean charged mult
iplicity observed in Y(1S)-->gg gamma events, [n(gluon)(+/1)], to the
mean charged multiplicity observed in e(+)e(-)-->q (q) over bar gamma
events, [n(quark)(+/-)]. We find R-charg = [n(gluon)(+/-)]/[n(quark)(/-)] = 1.04 +/- 0.02(stat) +/- 0.05(syst) for jet-jet masses less than
7 GeV.
