Abstract: (Springer)
The inclusive production of the neutral vector mesons K*0(892) and ϕ(1020), and of the tensor meson K2t0(1430){⤪ K}_{2}^{⇒t 0}(1430), in hadronic decays of the Z has been measured by the DELPHI detector at LEP. The average production rates per hadronic Z decay have been determined to be 0.77 ± 0.08 K*0(892), 0.104 ± 0.008 ϕ(1020) and K2t0(1430){⤪ K}_{2}^{⇒t 0}(1430). The ratio of the tensor-to-vector meson production yields, «ngleK2t0(1430)»ngle«ngle {⤪ K}_{2}^{⇒t 0}(1430)»ngle, is smaller than the 〈f2(1270)〉/〈ρ0(770)〉 and «nglef2ime(1525)»ngle«ngle f_{2}^{⌕ime}(1525)»ngle ratios measured by DELPHI. The production rates and differential cross sections are compared with the predictions of JETSET 7.4 tuned to the DELPHI data and of HERWIG 5.8. The K*0(892) and ϕ(1020) data are compatible with model predictions, but a large disagreement is observed for the K2t0(1430){⤪ K}_{2}^{⇒t 0}(1430).
