Hadronization corrections to helicity components of the fragmentation function
In the hadronic decays of Z, gluon emission leads to the appearance of the
longitudinal component of the fragmentation function, F_L. Measurement of F_L
and the transverse component, F_T, could thus provide an insight into the gluon
fragmentation function. However, hadronization corrections at low x can be
significant. Here we present a method of accounting for such corrections, using
the JETSET event generator as illustration.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
