We report measurements of large-scale two-particle correlations for 200 GeV p-p collisions on momentum components transverse rapidity $y_t$ (pion mass assigned), pseudorapidity $\eta$ and azimuth angle $\phi$. In both transverse $y_t…

The measurement of jet fragmentation functions in p+p collisions at 200 GeV is of great interest because it provides a baseline to study jet quenching in heavy-ion collisions. It is expected that jet quenching in nuclear matter modifies the…
We find, within the pQCD dipole model for DIS processes, a rapid increase with energy of the scale of parton momenta in the current fragmentation region in the limit $s\to \infty$ and fixed $Q^2$ . We explain the equivalence between the…
