Fragmentation and correlation of hadrons in ep collisions

Abstract

Electron-proton (ep) collisions at HERA can be regarded as an interaction between a virtual photon and the proton. The interaction gives a unique opportunity for studying particle production in the hadronic final state of the ep collisions. This contribution reviews the momentum distribution of fragmented hadrons and strange meson and baryon production. Also the Bose-Einstein correlation length and azimuthal asymmetry were measured.
