It is shown that the dependence of ratio $f_s/f_d$ could be understood within the fragmentation approach. However, the validity of fragmentation model is questionable at low $p_T$, and contributions of nonfragmentation mechanisms are…
Hadronization, a nonperturbative process, cannot be calculated from first principles. It can be investigated either by using phenomenological models or by examining the behavior of produced hadrons or through fragmentation functions. These…
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…
