The discussion centers on the availability of the fragmentation function (FF) for the K*0(892) particle. Participants express uncertainty about whether K*0 has a fragmentation function, noting that it is a resonance that typically decays isotropically rather than fragmenting. Clarification reveals that the inquiry pertains to quark fragmentation into hadrons, specifically regarding the FF for K*0. While FFs for other hadrons like pions and kaons are accessible through an online generator, K*0 remains unlisted. The conversation highlights the need for more information on the fragmentation behavior of K*0 in particle physics.

Where can I find the fragmentation function (FF) of ##K^{*0}(892)## particle?
The online FF generator doesn't give the option of ##K^{*0}##

FF generator: http://lapth.cnrs.fr/ffgenerator/

Are you sure that the K* has a fragmentation function? I'm pretty sure that, since it is a resonance, it doesn't fragment but simply decay isotropically according to the usual matrix elements. What are you looking for it?

Oops, sorry for my ambiguity. Actually I mean the quarks fragment into hadrons, i.e. the fragmentation function is ##D^{q\to h}## with ##h = K^{*0}(892)##, and ##q = u,d,s,c,\cdots##.
For ##h = pion, kaon...##, it is available(given by online FF generator), but what about ##K^{*0}##?
