Abstract

We describe a new approach to heavy-quark fragmentation which is based on a resummed perturbative calculation and parametrization of power corrections, concentrating on the z -> 1 limit, where the heavy meson carries a large fraction of the momentum of the initial quark. It is shown that the leading power corrections in this region are controlled by the scale m(1 - z). Renormalon analysis is then used to extend the perturbative treatment of soft and collinear radiation to the non-perturbative regime. Theoretical predictions are confronted with data on B-meson production in e(+)e(-) annihilation.
