Inclusive hadro-production in e+e- annihilation processes is examined to study the fragmentation process. A broken SU(3) model is used to determine the quark and gluon fragmentation functions of octet vector mesons, ρ and K*, in a simple way with an SU(3) breaking parameter λ. These are expressed in terms of just two light quark fragmentation functions, V(x, Q2) and γ(x, Q2) and the gluon fragmentation function Dg(x, Q2). These functions are parametrized at the low input scale of [Formula: see text], evolved through LO DGLAP evolution including charm and bottom flavor at appropriate thresholds, and fitted by comparison with data at the Z-pole. The model is extended with the introduction of a few additional parameters to include a study of singlet–octet mixing and hence ω and ϕ fragmentation. The model gives good fits to the available data for x ≳0.01, where x is the scaled energy of the hadron. The model is then applied successfully to ω, ϕ production in pp collisions at the relativistic heavy ion collider, RHIC, these data form an important baseline for the study of Quark Gluon Plasma in heavy nucleus collisions at RHIC, and also in future at the LHC.

We show the new relationship [1] between the anomalous dimensions, resummed through next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic order, in the Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi (DGLAP) evolution equations for the first Mellin moments Dq,g(μ2) of the quark and gluon fragmentation functions, which correspond to the average hadron multiplicities in jets initiated by quarks and gluons, respectively. So far, such relationships have only been known from supersymmetric (SUSY) QCD. Exploiting available next-to-nextto- next-to-leading-order (NNNLO) information on the ratio D+g (μ2)=D+q (μ2) of the dominant plus components, the fit of the world data of Dq,g(μ2) for charged hadrons measured in e+e- annihilation leads to α(5)s (MZ) = 0:1205 +0:0016 -0:0020.

Next-to-leading order corrections to fragmentation functions in a light-cone gauge are discussed. This gauge simplifies the calculation by eliminating many Feynman diagrams at the expense of introducing spurious poles in loop integrals. As an application, the short-distance coefficients for the color-octet 3S1 term in the fragmentation function for a gluon to split into polarized heavy quarkonium states are re-calculated to order [Formula: see text]. We show that the ill-defined spurious poles cancel and the appropriate prescriptions for the remaining spurious poles can be determined by calculating a subset of the diagrams in the Feynman gauge. Our answer agrees with the recent calculation of Braaten and Lee in the Feynman gauge, but disagrees with another previous calculation.

Two methods for extracting gluon fragmentation functions in π±p, [Formula: see text] and pp collisions are proposed. The only inputs are valence-quark distribution functions which we know much better than other structure functions and fragmentation functions. So better extraction of gluon fragmentation functions can be obtained.

Abstract The next-to-leading order (NLO) ($$ \mathcal{O} $$ O ($$ {\alpha}_s^3 $$ α s 3 )) corrections for gluon fragmentation functions to a heavy quark-antiquark pair in 3$$ {P}_J^{\left[1,8\right]} $$ P J 1 8 states are calculated within the NRQCD factorization. We use the integration-by-parts reduction and differential equations to semi-analytically calculate the fragmentation functions in full-QCD, and find that infrared divergences can be absorbed by the NRQCD long distance matrix elements. Thus, the NRQCD factorization conjecture is verified at two-loop level via a physical process, which is free of artificial ultraviolet divergences. Through the matching procedure, infrared-safe short distance coefficients and $$ \mathcal{O} $$ O ($$ {\alpha}_s^2 $$ α s 2 ) perturbative NRQCD matrix elements ⟨$$ {\mathcal{O}}^3{P}_J^{\left[1,8\right]} $$ O 3 P J 1 8 (3$$ {S}_1^{\left[8\right]} $$ S 1 8 )⟩ are obtained simultaneously. The NLO short distance coefficients are found to have significant corrections comparing with the LO ones.
