We have measured the differential cross sections for the production of [pi], K, K°, K*°, [phi], p, [Lambda] and their corresponding antiparticles in separate samples of flavor-tagged Z° 2!light-flavor (u{bar u}, d{bar d}, or s{bar s}), Z° 2!b{bar b} events. Clear flavor dependences are observed, and the results are compared with the predictions of three fragmentation models. We have also performed a direct measurement of A{sub s}, the parity-violating coupling of the Z° to strange quarks, by measuring the left-right-forward-backward production asymmetry in polar angle of the tagged s quark. Our preliminary result is A{sub s} = 0.82 ± 0.10(stat.) ± 0.07(syst.).

The authors have measured the differential cross sections for the production of [pi]{sup {+-}}, K{sup {+-}}, K°, K{sup *}(892), [phi](1020), p and [Lambda] in hadronic Z° decays and in subsets of flavor-tagged Z° → light-flavor (u{bar u}, d{bar d}, or s{bar s}), Z° → c{bar c} and Z° → b{bar b} events. Charged hadrons were identified with the SLD Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector. A vertex detector was employed to select flavor-enriched samples, and the polarized electron beam from SLC was used to tag quark and antiquark jets. The authors observes a flavor dependence in the hadron fragmentation functions. They also present evidence for leading particle production in hadronic decays of the Z° boson to light-flavor jets and a direct measurement of the strangeness suppression factor [gamma]{sub s}.

We have updated our results on identified charged hadron production using the full SLD data sample of 550,000 hadronic Z° decays taken between 1993 and 1998. The SLD Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector allows the identification of clean samples of charged pions, kaons and protons over a wide momentum range, providing precise tests of perturbative QCD calculations and of fragmentation models. We have studied flavor-inclusive Z° decays, as well as decays into light, c and b flavors, selected using the SLD vertex detector. In addition we have updated our comparison of hadron and antihadron production in light quark (rather than antiquark) jets, selected using the high SLC electron beam polarization. Differences between hadron and antihadron production at high momentum fraction provide precise measurements of leading particle production and new, stringent tests of fragmentation models.
The authors have measured the differential cross sections for the production of[pi][sup[+-]], K[sup[+-]], K[sup 0], K*(892), [phi](1,020), p and[Lambda] in hadronic Z[sup 0] decays and in subsets of flavor-tagged Z[sup 0][yields] light quark (u[anti u], d[anti d], or s[anti s]), Z[sup 0][yields] c[anti c] and Z[sup 0][yields] b[anti b] events. Charged hadrons were identified with the SLD Cherenkov ring imaging detector. The vertex detector was employed to select flavor enriched samples and the polarized electron beam from SLC was used to tag quark and anti-quark jets. The authors observe a flavor dependence in the hadron fragmentation functions. The authors present evidence for leading particle production in hadronic decays of the Z[sup 0] boson to light-flavor jets and a direct measurement of the strangeness suppression factor[gamma][sub s].
The authors present a preliminary study of correlations in rapidity between pairs of identified pions, kaons and protons in hadronic Z° decays into light flavors. Short range charge correlations are observed between all combinations of these hadron species, confirming that charge, strangeness and baryon number are conserved locally in the jet fragmentation process. The range of this effect is found to be independent of momentum. A strong long-range correlation is observed for high-momentum charged kaon pairs, and weaker long-range [pi]-[pi]−, [pi]-K− and p-K− correlations are observed. The SLC electron beam polarization is used to tag the quark hemisphere in each event, allowing the first study of rapidities signed such that positive rapidity is along the quark rather than antiquark direction. Distributions of signed rapidities and of ordered differences between signed rapidities provide new insights into leading particle production and several new tests of fragmentation models.

We present a number of jet fragmentation measurements ee− --> hadrons. The ALEPH collaboration measures inclusive rho°(770), f0(980) and f2(1270) production rates, improving the world averages. The SLD collaboration measures pi{sup {+-}}, K{sup {+-}} and p/anti-p production in light-, c- and b-flavor Z° decays, as well as leading hadrons in light-quark jets, precisely. The DELPHI collaboration measures the average charged multiplicity in light- and b-flavor events at 183 and 189 GeV, verifying a precise prediction of QCD and excluding flavor-independent fragmentation.
