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

Structure of Vacuum Condensates

It is essential to know the space-time structure of the nonlocal vacuum condensates for application to medium energy processes. Using the Dyson-Schwinger formalism in the rainbow approximation for the quark propagator, we study the nonlocal quark condensate and model forms for the nonperturbative gluon propagator constrained by fits to local condensates and deep inelastic scattering with nucleon targets.Comment: 8pages (REVTEX), 1 PostScript figur
