چکیده

We present a new determination of unpolarised charged pion and kaon fragmentation functions from set single-inclusive electron-positron annihilation lepton-nucleon semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering data. The includes next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to both processes, is carried out in framework that combines neural-network parametrisation with Monte Carlo representation their uncertainties. discuss the quality determination, particular its dependence on higher corrections.

Pion and kaon production in e+e- and ep collisions at next-to-leading order.

We present new sets of fragmentation functions for charged pions and kaons, both at leading and next-to-leading order. They are fitted to data on inclusive chargedhadron production in e+e− annihilation taken by TPC at PEP ( √ s = 29 GeV) and to similar data by ALEPH at LEP, who discriminated between events with charm, bottom, and light-flavour fragmentation in their charged-hadron sample. In co...

Next-to-Leading Order Evolution of Polarized Fragmentation Functions

We present a brief description of the determination of the two-loop spindependent time-like splitting functions relevant for the NLO evolution of polarized fragmentation functions. Our calculation based on the analytic continuation of the corresponding space-like results obtained within the light-cone gauge method proposed by Curci, Furmanski, and Petronzio. As an application we present an anal...

Next-to-leading order QCD evolution of transversity fragmentation functions

We derive the next-to-leading order splitting kernels for the scale evolution of fragmentation functions for transversely polarized quarks into transversely polarized hadrons. Very little is known so far about spin effects in fragmentation of partons into hadrons. An exception is semi-inclusive production of Λ baryons in e+e−, ep, or pp scattering, where the polarization of the Λ has been obser...

Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order Evolution of Non-Singlet Fragmentation Functions

We have investigated the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections to inclusive hadron production in e+e− annihilation and the related parton fragmentation distributions, the ‘time-like’ counterparts of the ‘space-like’ deep-inelastic structure functions and parton densities. We have re-derived the corresponding second-order coefficient functions in massless perturbative QCD, which so fa...

Fragmentation Functions for Pions, Kaons, and Protons at Next-to-Leading Order

We present new sets of fragmentation functions for charged pions, charged kaons, and protons, both at the leading and next-to-leading orders. They are fitted to the scaled-momentum distributions of these hadrons measured in e+e− annihilation on the Z-boson resonance at CERN LEP1 and SLAC SLC. These data partly come as light-, charm-, bottom-quark-enriched and gluon-jet samples, which allows us ...
