Abstract
We discuss the fragmentation of a heavy quark to a baryon containing two heavy quarks of mass . In this limit the heavy quarks first combine perturbatively into a compact diquark with a radius small compared to , which interacts with the light hadronic degrees of freedom exactly as does a heavy antiquark. The subsequent evolution of this diquark to a baryon is identical to the fragmentation of a heavy antiquark to a meson. We apply this analysis to the production of baryons of the form , , and .
