Abstract

We study inclusive production of doubly heavy baryon at a e+ee^+e^- collider and at hadron colliders through fragmentation. We study the production by factorizing nonpertubative- and perturbative effects. In our approach the production can be thought as a two-step process: A pair of heavy quarks can be produced perturbatively and then the pair is transformed into the baryon. The transformation is nonperturbative. Since a heavy quark moves with a small velocity in the baryon in its rest frame, we can use NRQCD to describe the transformation and perform a systematic expansion in the small velocity. At the leading order we find that the baryon can be formed from two states of the heavy-quark pair, one state is with the pair in 3S1^3S_1 state and in color 3ˉ{\bf \bar 3}, another is with the pair in 1S0^1S_0 state and in color 6{\bf 6}. Two matrix elements are defined for the transformation from the two states, their perturbative coefficients in the contribution to the cross-section at a e+ee^+e^- collider and to the function of heavy quark fragmentation are calculated. Our approach is different than previous approaches where only the pair in 3S1^3S_1 state and in color 3ˉ{\bf \bar 3} is taken into account. Numerical results for e+ee^+e^- colliders at the two BB-factories and for hadronic colliders LHC and Tevatron are given.
