We present, for the first time, a set of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) fragmentation functions (FFs) describing the production of charmed-meson $D^{*+}$ from partons. Exploiting the universality and scaling violations of FFs, we…
It is shown that neutrino and antineutrino deep inelastic scattering of unpolarized and polarized $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ productions, can provide a clean separation of unpolarized and polarized fragmentation functions of a quark into…
In this study, we revisit the extraction of parton-to-$K^0_S$ hadron fragmentation functions, named FF24-$K^0_S$, focusing on both next-to-leading-order and next-to-next-to-leading-order accuracy in perturbative QCD. Our approach involves…
Decay amplitudes of D(D_s)->f0(980)X, X=pi, K, are compared to experimental branching ratios with the aim of singling out the poorly known D->f0(980) transition form factor in these amplitudes. Since the other elements of the amplitudes are…
Within the framework of the constituent quark model, it is shown that the single hadron fragmentation function of a parton can be expressed as a convolution of shower diquark or triquark distribution function and quark recombination…
The Collins fragmentation function describes a left/right asymmetry in the fragmentation of a transversely polarized quark into a hadron in a jet. Four different model calculations of the Collins function have been presented in the…
We propose the formulation of a dihadron fragmentation function in terms of parton matrix elements. Under the collinear factorization approximation and facilitated by the cut-vertex technique, the two hadron inclusive cross section at…
Measurements of heavy quark production in electron-positron collisions are used to analyse the strong interactions between quarks and anti-quarks. A scaling behaviour is observed in distributions of the rapidity change of D*, B*, and B…
At high energies a form of fragmentation function for a heavy quark into a hadron is substantiated to agree with a reciprocity relation to the distribution of heavy quark as the virtual parton in the hadron. The relevance of the relation is…
Experimental data, theoretical ideas and models concerning jet fragmentation and the hadronization process are reviewed, concentrating on the following topics: factorization and small-x resummation of fragmentation functions, hadronization…
We review the main aspects of the fragmentation of bottom quarks in top quark decay. The NLO b-quark energy spectrum presents large mass logarithms ln(m_t^2/m_b^2), which can be resummed by the use of the approach of perturbative…
Hadron spectroscopy represented in the past a major tool for understanding the fundamental symmetries of strong forces. More recently, the interest on this topic has been revitalized by the discovery of new quarkonium-like resonances, that…
Next-to-leading order parton fragmentation functions into light mesons are presented. They have been extracted from real and simulated $e^+e^-$ data and used to predict inclusive single particle distributions at different machines.
It is demonstrated that the fragmentation functions at large momentum fraction play a key role in hard hadron production from relativistic proton-proton collisions. We find that this region of the fragmentation functions is not strongly…
We present the systematic results for three dimensional fragmentation functions defined via the quark-quark correlator for hadrons with spin 0, 1/2 and 1 respectively. These results are presented in terms of a spin independent part, a…
In certain situations, such as one-particle inclusive processes, it is possible to model the hadronization through Fragmentation Functions (FFs), which are universal non-perturbative functions extracted from experimental data through…
We study the inclusive production of $\Lambda$ ($\bar \Lambda$) in several high energy collision processes ($e^+e^-, e^{\pm}p, \nu (\bar \nu)p, pp$), in view of an accurate determination of the unpolarized and polarized fragmentation…

For many decades after the invention of the quark model in 1964 there was no evidence that hadrons are formed from anything other than the simplest pairings of quarks and antiquarks, mesons being formed of a quark-antiquark pair and baryons…
We investigate the possibility of clarifying internal structure of exotic hadrons by high-energy exclusive reactions. In particular, the constituent-counting rule could be used for determining the internal configuration in large-angle…
