dc.description.abstractWe have developed a new technique for inclusive reconstruction of the energy of B hadrons. The excellent efficiency and resolution of this technique allow us to make the most precise determination of the b-quark fragmentation function, using e[superscript +]e[superscript -]→Z[superscript 0] decays recorded in the SLAC Large Detector experiment. We compared our measurement with the predictions of a number of fragmentation models. We excluded several of these models and measured the average scaled energy of weakly decaying B hadrons to be 〈x[subscript B]〉 = 0.714±0.005(stat)±0.007(syst)±0.002 (model dependence).en
