Fragmentation Functions for K0short and Lambda with Complete Quark Flavour Separation

Abstract

We present new sets of next-to-leading order fragmentation functions for the production of K0short and Lambda particles from the gluon and from each of the quarks, obtained by fitting to all relevant data sets from e+e- annihilation. The individual light quark flavour fragmentation functions are constrained phenomenologically for the first time by including in the data the light quark tagging probabilities measured by the OPAL Collaboration.
