Determination of the QCD color factor ratio CA/CF from the scale dependence of multiplicity in three jet events [PDF]
I examine the determination of the QCD color factor ratio CA/CF from the scale evolution of particle multiplicity in e+e- three jet events. I fit an analytic expression for the multiplicity in three jet events to event samples generated with QCD ...
