Heavy-hadron production based on $k_t$-factorization with scale-dependent fragmentation functions

F. E. Barattini, C. O. Dib, B. Guiot

We present a comprehensive study of heavy-hadron production, including $D$ and $B$ mesons, heavy baryons, and the $B_c$ meson. Our calculations are based on the $k_t$-factorization…
