Abstract

Inclusive π±, K± and (p, p̄) production is investigated using data recorded by the ALEPH detector between 1992 and 1994. The momentum spectra and multiplicities are measured separately in Z → bb̄, Z → cc̄ and Z → uū, dd̄, ss̄ decays. The number of protons found in b-hadron decays is used to estimate the fraction of b-baryons in b events to be (10.2 ± 0.7 ± 2.7)% assuming BR(b-baryon→ pX) = (58 ± 6)%. From an additional study of proton-lepton correlations in b events, the branching ratio BR(b-baryon → plv̄X) = (4.63 ± 0.72 ± 0.98)% is obtained. The ratio BR(b-baryon → plv̄X)/BR(b-baryon → pX) is found to be 0.080 ± 0.012 ± 0.014.
