摘要
In this paper an investigation of the production of D* +/- mesons produced in e+e- collisions at energies around the Z0 pole is presented. Based on 115 D* +/- mesons with chi-D* = 2E(D)*/E(cm) > 0.2 the properties of D* mesons produced in the reaction Z0 --> ccBAR are studied. Fixing the yield and the fragmentation function of bottom quarks to the values obtained at LEP using lepton tags, an average energy fraction of the D* +/- mesons from primary charmed quarks of <x-c --> D*> = 0.52 +/- 0.03 +/- 0.01 is found and GAMMA-Z0 --> ccBAR = (323 +/- 61 +/- 35) MeV is determined. The first error is the combined statistical and systematic error from this experiment, and the second the total error from other sources.
