We compute the contributions due to gluon and heavy-quark fragmentation to quarkonium production at large transverse momentum in $\bar p p$ and $p p$ collisions. For inclusive $J/\psi$ production, there is a large contribution from the $g…

We investigate the reaction gamma+p -> V+p, with V denoting a Phi or a J/Psi meson, within the scope of perturbative QCD, treating the proton as a quark-diquark system. Our predictions extrapolate the existing forward differential…

We show that the quark fragmentation function $D(z)$ and the quark distribution function $q(x)$ are connected in the $z \to 1$ limit by the approximate relation $D(z)/z \simeq q(2-1/z)$, where both quantities are in their physical regions.…

The fragmentation functions of the pion with distinction between $D_{u}^{\pi^{+}}$, $D_{d}^{\pi^{+}}$, and $D_{s}^{\pi^{+}}$ are studied in the Field-Feynman recursive model, by taking into account the flavor structure in the excitation of…
