In a coalescence plus independent fragmentation approach we calculate the $p_T$ spectra of the main hadrons: $\pi, K, p, \bar p, \Lambda, \phi$ in a wide range of transverse momentum from low $p_T$ up to about 10 GeV. The approach in its…
I review a few selected topics concerning heavy-quark fragmentation, taking particular care about bottom- and charm-quark production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation and the inclusion of non-perturbative corrections. In particular, I discuss recent…
