Title: Quark combinatorics and the spectra of hadrons in e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilation and in deep inelastic collisions

The predictions of statistical quark-model calculations (quark combinatorics) are compared with the data on the production of pions, kaons, rho mesons, and antiprotons in e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilation. We show that a successful description of the spectra of secondary hadrons (s/..beta..)(dsigma/dx/sub E/) (e/sup +/e/sup -/..-->..hadrons) in the region 0.1<0.9 is possible in the framework of this approach. The fragmentation functions for the transitions of light quarks into hadrons (mesons or baryons of the lowest 36 or 56 multiplets) are found. Predictions for the yields of particles in deep inelastic lepton-hadron collisions in the current fragmentation region are given.
