Abstract |
|
The structure of
three-jet b\bar{b}g events has been studied using
hadronic Z^0 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/bbar; the remaining jet in each event was
tagged as a gluon jet. Distributions of the gluon energy
and polar angle with respect to the electron beam were
used to test the predictions of perturbative QCD. These
distributions are also sensitive to an anomalous
chromomagnetic moment at the b-bbar-g vertex. We compare
our data with theoretical predictions and place limits
on the value of such a moment at the few percent
level. |
