Summary

Within the exclusive approach discussed in a previous paper, explicit formulae for multiplicities, dispersions and branching ratios for the production of an arbitrary number of quarks and gluons both in quark and gluon jets are calculated in the limitN c → ∞ and in the general case. Multiplicity moments at all orders can in principle be determined. For a convenient choice of the infra-red cut-off, quantitative predictions for relevant physical quantities are shown. It seems that quark and gluon jets still remember after the evolution through a given thickness their origin from one or two colour charges, respectively.

Riassunto

Si calcolano esplicitamente le molteplicità, le dispersioni e i rapporti di deoadimento per la produzione di un numéro arbitrario di quark e di gluoni sia in un getto di quark che in un getto di gluoni, seguendo il metodo esclusivo discusso in un precedente lavoro. Il caloolo è fatto sia nel limite Nc → þ che nel caso generate. I momenti a tutti gli ordini possono similmente essere calcolati. Per una conveniente scelta del taglio infrarosso si ottengono predizioni esplicite per alcune quantità di notevole interesse fisico. Le cose vanno come so il getto di quark e il getto di gluoni si ricordassero dopo la loro evoluzione attraverso un dato spessore delia loro origine rispettivamente da una o da due cariche di colore.

Резюме

В рамках инклюзивног о подхода, рассмотренного в пре дыдущей работе, выводятся явн ые формулы для множес твенностей, дисперсий и отношени й ветвей для рождения п роизвольного числа к варков и глюонов в кварковых и в глюонных струях в пределе Nc → ∞ и в общем случае. В принц ипе, могут быть получены моменты множественн ости во всех порядках. При соответствующем выб оре инфракрасного обрезания получаютс я количественные пре дсказания для соответствующих физических величин. О тмечается, что кварко вые и глюонные струи после прохождения заданно й толщины помнят о их происхождении из одн ого или двух цветных зарядов соот ветственно.
