Abstract
We present a reliable estimate on the production rate of mesons in and states in the large transverse momentum region at hadronic colliders using heavy quark fragmentation functions derived within the framework of perturbative QCD. We also present the transverse momentum distribution for the mesons. The production rate is large enough for the mesons to be identified at the Tevatron. At the SSC/LHC the rate is so large that their properties can be studied in details.
