Hadron multiplicities in e+e- annihilation with heavy primary quarks

Abstract

The multiple hadron production in the events induced by the heavy primary quarks in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation is reconsidered with account of corrected experimental data. New value for the multiplicity in $b\bar{b}$ events is presented on the basis of pQCD estimates.
