When do pairs of quarks form jets vs mesons?

For certain processes with low momentum transfer, such as the Kaon decay shown below, quarks will form bound states of mesons. Whereas for higher momentum-transfer processes, such as the decay of an ...

Implementation of fragmentation functions into a cross section calculation

I'm trying to understand how fragmentation is put into a cross section calculation. I have learned that the full cross section can look something like \begin{equation} \sigma=\int_0^1d\xi\int_0^1dzf(\...

What is fragmentation scale in particle physics?

This is a quick guestion. What is used as the fragmentation scale in cross section calculations? If I have a quark which hadronizes, is the fragmentation scale (at which the fragmentation function is ...

What information we can obtain from total transverse energy and transverse momentum plots on particle physics

I am working on particle physics simulations and making some plots for which the purpose are not yet clear to me, as I am a novice in this field of study. To make my doubts clear, let's consider an ...

Do hadronic jets always accompany the production of quarks? Do we account for them when describing collisions and decays?

I'm a relative beginner in particle physics, and the phenomenon of hadronic jets is not taught very well in my course. My understanding is that when quarks are produced in the centre of mass frame ...

What is the formula that hadronization is not able to be resolved using pertubation theory?

(New in particle physics background in Computer science) I read (source: https://www.slac.stanford.edu/econf/C990809/docs/webber.pdf) that hadronization is not well undestood because pertubation ...
