Measurement of the inclusive production of neutral pions and charged particles on the Z0 resonance

We present a study of the inclusive production of neutral pions and charged particles from 112 000 hadronic Z0 decays. The measured inclusive momentum distributions can be reproduced by parton shower Monte Carlo programs and also by an analytical QCD calculation. Comparing our results to e+e- data between [radical sign]s = 9 and 91 GeV, we findfind that the evolution of the spectra with center of mass energy is consistent with the QCD predictions.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/29375/3/0000445.pd
