Looks the most interesting process for thismeasurement, since we havethe possibility to estimate the multiplicity from beamremnants plus color reconnection effects and use itin other processes.

Summary
QFTHEP 2011, Sochi, Russia Top Physics R.Ryutin
It is proposed to extract average charged multiplicity of hadrons in "t-induced-jets" in single-top and t anti-t events. This work is based on ideas of [1-4], where authors have calculated charge hadron multiplicities for t-tbar production in e+e- annihilation. The basic argument for calculations is the independent fragmentation of tops. In e+e- it was experimentally proved for e+e-=>W+W- (for t-tbar ithe situation is similar).At LHC the experimental situation is more difficult, since jet partons can interact with beam remnants, but: a) in s-channel single top the situation is similar to e+e- (W* is a color singlet), b) in other processes we can take jets with high pt, and such interaction will be suppressed.- Numbers nb, nW, nt, nq are fixed and energy independent (calculated by data fitting at low energies).- Numbers are calculated in QCD, where are independent on fragmentation model and fixed by data fitting at low energies (Local Parton-Hadron Duality).Motivations:a) direct test of QCD calculations independent on fragmentation models.b) to check independent fragmentation of heavy quarks.c) to check parton-parton-C.M.Energy dependence of hadron multiplicities.d) to estimate multiplicity from beam remnants plus from color reconnection effects in t-channel single
top for further use in other processese) we can calculate also the difference to cancel effects of color reconnection and
beam remnants Final task: to extract number of tracks in jets which are produced in top quark decay.Comments: to estimate efficiencies etc. we can use any MC generator for top production. To suppress (estimate) dependence on a fragmentation model we can use several different models (generators: PYTHIA, HERWIG and so on). At the same time with the top-mass reconstruction procedure (in hadronic mode) we couldextract number of tracks which are included into hadronic cluster from single t or t anti-t.
