The charge of the quark is correlated with the charge of the highest pT hadron resulting of the hadronization Simple study carried out with Pythia: Generated QCD 2→2 process, pT>15GeV And look at hight pT b quarks produced in the process. Usually large number of hadrons Produced, most quite modest pT Thís is then smeared by detector effects...
