Description

The forward coverage of the LHCb detector (2 < η < 5) provides an interesting setting to study hadronization in jets. LHCb is particularly well-suited for studying hadronization in events initiated by light-quarks and heavy-quarks, given the enhancement of the relevant cross sections at forward rapidities and the capability of cleanly tagging these events.
Heavy-flavour-tagged events are of special interest, as heavy quarks exhibit distinct perturbative radiation patterns and nonperturbative hadronization dynamics compared to light quarks and gluons. In this talk, we will briefly review the experimental conditions at LHCb to provide context for the measurements, and then delve deeply into the latest results of hadronization studies at LHCb.
