چکیده
The term ‘fragmentation functions’ is widely used for two related if conceptually different sets of functions describing final-state single particle energy distributions in hard scattering processes (see Refs. [1,2] for introductory reviews, and Refs. [3,4] for summaries of recent experimental and theoretical research in this field). The first are cross-section observables such as the functions FT,L,A(x, s) in semiinclusive e+e− annihilation at center-of-mass (CM) energy √ s via an intermediate photon or Z-boson, e+e− → γ/Z → h +X , given by

متن کاملNext-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...
متن کاملHyperon Polarization from Unpolarized pp and ep Collisions
Cross section formulas for the Λ polarization in pp → Λ↑(`T )X and ep→ Λ↑(`T )X are derived and its characteristic features are discussed. In this report we discuss the polarization of Λ hyperon produced in unpolarized pp and ep collisions relevant for the ongoing RHIC-SPIN, HERMES and COMPASS experiments. According to the QCD factorization theorem, the polarized cross section for pp→ Λ↑X consi...
متن کاملNeutral kaon production in e+e-, ep, and pp-bar collisions at next-to-leading order.
We present new sets of fragmentation functions for neutral kaons, both at leading and next-to-leading order. They are fitted to data on inclusive K0 production in e+e− annihilation taken by MARK II at PEP ( √ s = 29 GeV) and by ALEPH at LEP. Our fragmentation functions lead to a good description of other e+e− data on inclusive K0 production at various energies. They also nicely agree with the K...
