Abstract

Measurements are presented of the inclusive cross section for K^*(892)^± production in hadronic decays of the Z⁰ using a sample of about half a million events recorded with the OPAL experiment at LEP. Charged K^* mesons are reconstructed in the decay channel K⁰ _Sπ^±. A mean rate of 0.72±0.02±0.08 K^* mesons per hadronic event is found. Comparison of the results with predictions of the JETSET and HERWIG models shows that JETSET overestimates the K^*± production cross section while HERWIG is consistent with the data.

N2 - Measurements are presented of the inclusive cross section for K*(892)± production in hadronic decays of the Z0 using a sample of about half a million events recorded with the OPAL experiment at LEP. Charged K* mesons are reconstructed in the decay channel K0 Sπ±. A mean rate of 0.72±0.02±0.08 K* mesons per hadronic event is found. Comparison of the results with predictions of the JETSET and HERWIG models shows that JETSET overestimates the K*± production cross section while HERWIG is consistent with the data.
