Quarks and gluon, as quantum particles, are subjects to various effects that go beyond the naive parton picture and are not captured by ordinary parton densities. In this work, we investigate the twist-three parton distribution functions,…
Using repeated Laplace transform, We find an analytical solution for DGLAP evolution equations for extracting the pion, kaon and proton Fragmentation Functions (FFs) at NLO approximation. We also study the symmetry breaking of the sea…
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…
We use an s-channel picture of hard hadronic collisions to investigate the parton distribution function for quarks at small momentum fraction x, which corresponds to very high energy scattering. We study the renormalized quark distribution…
Dihadron fragmentation functions describe the probability that a quark fragments into two hadrons plus other undetected hadrons. In particular, the so-called interference fragmentation functions describe the azimuthal asymmetry of the…
The most striking feature of quark distribution functions transformed to the longitudinal distance representation is the recognizable separation of small and large longitudinal distances. While the former are responsible for the average…
The production of final state photons in hadronic $Z$-boson decays can be used to study the quark-to-photon fragmentation function $D_{q\to \gamma}(z,\mu_{F})$. Currently, two different observables are used at LEP to probe this function:…

The fragmentation of an unpolarized quark into a transversely polarized spin-1/2 particle is studied in the framework of a simple model. Special attention is payed to the gluon exchange which is incorporated in the gauge link of the…
We study chiral-odd quark-antiquark correlation functions suitable for lattice calculations of twist-three nucleon parton distribution functions $h_L(x)$ and $e(x)$, and also the twist-two transversity distribution $\delta q(x)$. The…
Polarized parton distribution functions are determined by using world data from the longitudinally polarized deep inelastic scattering experiments. A new parametrization of the parton distribution functions is adopted by taking into account…
Quark distribution and spectator functions are estimated in a diquark spectator model. The representation of the functions in terms of non-local operators together with the rather simple model allow estimates for the yet experimentally…

We study the transverse-momentum spectrum of quarkonium production from single light-parton fragmentation mechanism. In the case of semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, we observe that there are two possible initiating processes,…
The properties of the non-forward quark-quark correlation function are examined. We derive constraints on the correlation function from the transformation properties of the fundamental fields of QCD occurring in its definition. We further…
We discuss the quark parton structure of the $\Lambda$ baryon and the fragmentation of quarks into $\Lambda$ baryons. We show that the hyperfine interaction, responsible for the $\Delta$-$N$ and $\Sigma^0$-$\Lambda$ mass splittings, leads…
The functions of the gluon fragmentation into $^3P_J$ quarkonium are calculated to order $\alpha_s^2$. With the recent progress in analysing quarkonium systems in QCD we show explicitly how the socalled divergence in the limit of the…
The dominant production mechanism for heavy quark-antiquark bound states in very high energy processes is fragmentation, the splitting of a high energy parton into a quarkonium state and other partons. We show that the fragmentation…
We present new sets of fragmentation functions for D^{*+-} mesons, both at leading and next-to-leading order. They are determined by fitting LEP1 data on inclusive D^{*+-} production in e^+e^- annihilation. In one of the sets, we take the…
