Abstract

Heavy hadron production in e+e- annihilation is studied in the framework of heavy-quark recombination mechanism. This mechanism predicts a new type of 3-jet event such as bbq or bbq, which is power-suppressed relative to the standard bbg event. Furthermore, heavy quark fragmentation function also receives a contribution from this mechanism, which is \it calculable in perturbative QCD as long as the momentum fraction z is not too close to unity. We conjecture that the height of the peak of fragmentation function for S-wave heavy hadron scales as αs2(m) m/\lambdaqcd.
