Abstract: (APS)

Recently, a new perturbative QCD factorization formalism for heavy quarkonium production at a large transverse momentum was proposed. The phenomenological application of this new approach relies on our knowledge of a large number of universal fragmentation functions (FFs) at an input factorization scale μ02mQ with heavy quark mass mQ, which are nonperturbative, and in principle, should be extracted from data. With heavy quark mass mQΛQCD, we calculate these input FFs in terms of nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization. We derive contributions to these input FFs through all S-wave NRQCD QQ¯ states in a companion paper [Y. -Q. Ma, J. -W. Qiu, and H. Zhang, arXiv:1311.7078 [Phys. Rev. D (to be published)]]. In this paper, we calculate the contributions to the heavy quark-pair FFs from all P-wave NRQCD QQ¯ states.
