The NJL-jet model provides a framework for calculating fragmentation functions without the introduction of ad hoc parameters. We develop the NJL-jet model to investigate dihadron fragmentation functions (DFFs) of the form $D^{h_1…

We study the dihadron fragmentation functions (DiFF) of longitudinally polarized quarks into pion pairs. The quark-jet framework is used to model the sequential hadronization of a polarized quark into hadrons, where the polarization…

Fragmentation Functions (FF) are universal non-perturbative objects that model hadronization in some general kind of processes. They are mainly extracted from experimental data, hence constraining the parameters of the corresponding fits is…
Fracture functions are parton distributions of an initial hadron in the presence of an almost collinear particle observed in the final state. They are important ingredients in QCD factorization for processes where a particle is produced…
Fragmentation functions (FFs) are essential non-perturbative QCD inputs for predicting hadron production cross sections in high energy scatterings. In this study, we present a joint determination of FFs for light charged hadrons through a…
Factorization, in the sense defined for inclusive hard scattering, is discussed for diffractive hard scattering. A factorization theorem similar to its inclusive counterpart is presented for diffractive DIS. For hadron-hadron diffractive…

Fitting $Z^0$-pole data from ALEPH and SLD, and TPC data at a lower c.m.s.\ energy, we fix the boundary condition for NLO parton$\to$hadron (hadron$=\pi^\pm, K^\pm, \sum_h h^\pm$) fragmentation functions (FFs) at the low resolution scale of…
We show that the difference cross sections in unpolarized SIDIS e+N\to e+h+X and pp hadron production p+p\to h+X determine, uniquely and in any order in QCD, the two FFs: D_u^{h-\bar h} and D_d^{h-\bar h}, h=\pi^\pm, K^\pm. If both K^\pm…
We present a determination of fragmentation functions (FFs) for the octet baryon $\Xi ^-/\bar{\Xi}^+$ from data for single inclusive electron-positron annihilation. Our parametrization in this QCD analysis is provided in terms of a Neural…
In this comment, we reassess the underlying physics of the number sum rule for dihadron fragmentation functions. We will argue that, currently, there are no settled constraints on what constitutes a valid number density interpretation for…
We derive a factorization theorem that describes an energetic hadron h fragmenting from a jet produced by a parton i, where the jet invariant mass is measured. The analysis yields a "fragmenting jet function" G_i^h(s,z) that depends on the…
We review recent developments in the theoretical description of inclusive single-hadron production at next-to-leading order in the parton model of quantum chromodynamics. Fragmentation functions are extracted from fits to data of inclusive…
Using perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics, we compute dihadron fragmentation functions for a large invariant mass of the dihadron pair. The main focus is on the interference fragmentation function $H_1^{\open}$, which plays an important…
Quark and gluon parton dihadron fragmentation functions and their evolution are studied in the process of e+e- annihilation. We provide definitions of such dihadron fragmentation functions in terms of parton matrix elements and derive the…
