Inspired by the experiment from Moresco \& Alboussi\`ere (2004, J.

The Lorentz force tends to eliminate velocity variations along the magnetic field, leading ...

Hadronization of heavy quarks reveals various unusual features. Gluon radiation by a heavy quark originated from a hard process, ceases shortly on a distance of the order of few fm. Due to the dead-cone effect a heavy quark radiates only a small fraction of its energy. This is why the measured fragmentation function ...
