We present new sets of fragmentation functions for neutral kaons, both at leading and next-to-leading order. They are fitted to data on inclusive K0 production in e+e- annihilation taken by Mark II at SLAC PEP (√s=29 GeV) and by ALEPH at CERN LEP. Our fragmentation functions lead to a good description of other e+e- data on inclusive K0 production at various energies. They also nicely agree with the KS0 transverse-momentum spectra measured by H1 at the DESY ep collider HERA, by UA5 at the CERN Spp¯S collider, and by CDF at the Fermilab Tevatron. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
