Abstract
The NLO-QCD correction to single hadron production in deep inelastic scattering is calculated. We require the final state meson to carry a non-vanishing transversal momentum, thus being sensitive to perturbative QCD effects. Factorization allows us to convolute the hard scattering process with parton densities and fragmentation functions. The predictions are directly comparable to experimental results at the HERA collider at DESY. The results are sensitive to the gluon density in the proton and allow us to test universality of fragmentation functions.
