Bottom Quark Hadronization at LHCb

ORAL

Abstract

The process by which partons evolve into visible matter, known as hadronization, is poorly understood. In particular, the influence of the underlying events on the hadronization process requires further study. The LHCb detector is uniquely well suited to study the hadronization of heavy quarks. With full particle ID, precision vertexing, and a high rate DAQ, LHCb allows large samples of heavy quark decays to be recorded. This talk will present LHCb data on hadronization of heavy bottom quarks, and discuss the status of a new LHCb analysis of bottom baryon production versus charged particle multiplicity.

Publication: Currently pending results to then be published in 2023.
