Charged Particles Multiplicity and Scaling Violation of Fragmentation   Functions in Electron-Positron Annihilation
  In electron positron annihilation, changing quarks into the final hadron states is being described by fragmentation function. Based on the scaling hypothesis, this function will be independent from the center of mass energy. Gluon radiation violates the scaling feature. Transverse momentum distribution plays an important role in scaling violation of fragmentation functions. In this article, by the use of data resulted from the annihilation process of electron positron in AMY detector at 60 GeV center of mass energy, first, charged particles multiplicity distribution will be obtained and it will be fitted with the KNO scaling. Furthermore, momentum spectra of charged particles and momentum distribution respect to the jet axis will be obtained. Then, the results will be compared regarding the different models of QCD; as well, the distribution of fragmentation functions and scaling violations will be studied. It is being expected that the scaling violations of the fragmentation functions of gluon jet are stronger to the quark one. One of the reasons for such case is that splitting function of jet is larger than splitting function of gluon.
