INCLUSIVE PARTICLE PRODUCTION IN $\pbp$ COLLISIONS

Abstract

We calculate the inclusive production of charged hadrons in $\pbp$ collisions to next-to-leading order (NLO) in the QCD improved parton model using a new set of NLO fragmentation functions for charged pions and kaons. We predict transverse-momentum distributions and compare them with experimental data from the CERN S$\pbp$S Collider and the Fermilab Tevatron.

the file containing the figures has been replaced: we correct a mistake in the uuencoding procedure and we give the real Fig 4 instead of the spurious one which was accidentally included in the previous file. the text is unchanged.
