SUSY, Casimir scaling and probabilistic properties of gluon and quark jets evolution

We study the new relation [1] between the anomalous dimensions, resummed through next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic order, in the Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi evolution equations for the first Mellin moments D_{q,g}(\mu^2) of the fragmentation functions, which correspond to the average multiplicities of hadrons in jets initiated by quarks and gluons, respectively. This relation is shown to lead to probabilistic properties of the properly rescaled parton jet multiplicities obtained from standard ones by extracting the quark and gluon “color charges” C_F and C_A, respectively.
