Charmed-hadron fragmentation functions from CERN LEP1 revisited

Abstract
In Phys. Rev. D 58, 014014 (1998) and 71, 094013 (2005), we determined nonperturbative D0, D+, D*+, Ds+, and Λc+ fragmentation functions, both at leading and next-to-leading order in the MS¯ factorization scheme, by fitting e+e data taken by the OPAL Collaboration at CERN LEP1. The starting points for the evolution in the factorization scale μ were taken to be μ0=2mQ, where Q=c, b. For the reader’s convenience, in this paper, we repeat this analysis for μ0=mQ, where the flavor thresholds of modern sets of parton density functions are located.
