We compute the fragmentation functions for the production of a Higgs boson at $\mathcal{O}(y_t^2\alpha_s)$. As part of this calculation, the relevant splitting functions are also derived at the same perturbative order. Our results can be…
Quarkonia production in different high-energy processes has recently been proposed in order to probe gluon transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution and fragmentation functions (TMDs in general). However, no proper factorization…

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of strong interactions of quarks and gluons collectively called partons, the basic constituents of all nuclear matter. Its non-abelian character manifests in nature in the form of two remarkable…
