Finite-mass effects on inclusive<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:mi>B</mml:mi></mml:math>-meson hadroproduction

We calculate the transverse-momentum (${p}_{T}$) distribution for the inclusive hadroproduction of $B$ mesons at intermediate values of ${p}_{T}$ at next-to-leading order (NLO) in a dedicated finite-mass scheme using realistic nonperturbative fragmentation functions that are obtained through a global fit to ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ data from CERN LEP1 and SLAC SLC exploiting their …
