Abstract

We discuss the momentum distributions of inclusively produced particles in e+ee^+e^- annihilation. We show that the dependence of the position of the maxima of the ξ=ln(1/z)\xi=\ln(1/z) spectra on the mass of the produced particles follows naturally from the general definition of fragmentation functions when energy-momentum conservation is correctly incorporated.
