Charmed Mesons Fragmentation Functions

Abstract

Fragmentation functions for heavy-light mesons, like the charmed D, D^* mesons, are proposed. They rest on next-to-leading QCD Perturbative Fragmentation Functions for heavy quarks, with the addition of a non-perturbative term describing phenomenologically the quark --> meson transition. The cross section for production of large p_T D, D^* mesons at the Tevatron is evaluated in this framework.

Small changes in text and last figure (inclusion of Sudakov form factors). No qualitative changes in results
