Abstract: (Elsevier)
Charged-particle multiplicity was studied in e + e − annihilation at s = 57.8 GeV using the TOPAZ detector at TRISTAN. The average multiplicity was 〈 n ch 〉 = 17.64± 0.05(stat.) ± 0.41(syst.). It was found that the multiplicity depends on the thrust ( T ) of an event. From extrapolating this relation to T = 2 3 , the multiplicity for three-fold symmetric events was estimated to be 〈n ch 〉 T = 2 3 = 23.50 −1.45 +1.25 . From this, the multiplicity ratio between gluon- and quark-jet was estimated to be r g q = 1.46 −0.13 +0.09 without any possible bias from jet clustering.- electron positron: colliding beams
