This paper reports cross-section measurements for the ρ0 and K*(890) vector mesons produced in e+e− annihilation at s=29 GeV. The data, which were taken with the High Resolution Spectrometer operating at the SLAC colliding-beam facility PEP, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 291 pb−1. The measured multiplicities for fractional momentum x>0.05 are Nρ0=0.79±0.04 and NK*0(890)=0.53±0.04. The measured fragmentation functions agree well with the predictions of the Lund model and when extrapolated to threshold, the corresponding total multiplicities are Nρ0=0.90±0.05 and NK*0(890)=0.59±0.05.

The production of neutral K ∗ (890) and ρ 0 mesons was studied in e + e − annihilation at s =29 GeV using the High Resolution Spectrometer at PEP. Differential cross sections are presented as a function of the scaled energy variable z and compared to π 0 and K 0 production. The measured multiplicities are 0.84±0.08 ϱ 0 mesons and 0.57±0.09 K ∗0 (890) mesons per event for a meson momentum greater than 725 MeV/ c . The ratios of vector meson to pseudoscalar meson production for (u,d), s and c quark are compared to predictions of the Lund model.
