Abstract

The short-distance coefficients for the color-octet ³S₁ term in the fragmentation function for a gluon to split into heavy quarkonium states is calculated to order α_s² . The gauge-invariant definition of the fragmentation function by Collins and Soper is employed. Ultraviolet divergences are removed using the MS renormalization procedure. The longitudinal term in the fragmentation function agrees with a previous calculation by Beneke and Rothstein. The next-to-leading order correction to the transverse term disagrees with a previous calculation.
