Abstract

A model is presented to describe hadron fragmentation off light and heavy partons. Fragmentation functions are parametrized by one variable. When a heavy parton of a new flavour fragments, a heavy hadron tends to carry away most of the parton momentum, leaving light hadron ( π and K) spectra softer than those from light partons.
