Title: Precision Measurement of Charged Pion and Kaon Differential Cross Sections in e + e - Annihilation at s = 10.52 GeV

Abstract

Measurements of inclusive differential cross sections for charged pion and kaon production in e + e - annihilation have been carried out at a center-of-mass energy of s = 10.52 GeV . The measurements were performed with the Belle detector at the KEKB e + e - collider using a data sample containing 113 × 10 6 e + e - q q ¯ events, where q = { u , d , s , c } . We present charge-integrated differential cross sections d σ h ± / d z for h ± = { π ± , K ± } as a function of the relative hadron energy z = 2 E h / s from 0.2 to 0.98. The combined statistical and systematic uncertainties for π ± ( K ± ) are 4% (4%) at z ~ 0.6 and 15% (24%) at z ~ 0.9 . The cross sections are the first measurements of the z dependence of pion and kaon production for z > 0.7 as well as the first precision cross section measurements at a center-of-mass energy far below the Z 0 resonance used by the experiments at LEP and SLC.
