14. A combination of higher-order effects in b-quark production and/or fragmentation may reduce the discrepancy with experiment; cf. M. Cacciari and P. Nason, Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 122003 (2002). However, explanations within the context of QCD do not predict an increase of the time-averaged mixing probability χ.
