Improved Study of the Structure of e+e- --> b bbar g Events and Limits on the Anomalous Chromomagnetic Coupling of the b-Quark

摘要

The structure of three-jet e+e- --> b bbar g events has been studied using hadronic Z0 decays recorded in the SLD experiment at SLAC. Three-jet final states were selected and the CCD-based vertex detector was used to identify two of the jets as b or bbar; the remaining jet in each event was tagged as the gluon jet. Distributions of the gluon energy and polar angle with respect to the electron beam were measured over the full kinematic range, and used to test the predictions of perturbative QCD.
