When tunneling events induced by nontrivial configurations of the quantum chromodynamics gauge fields are taken into consideration, parity violating quantities emerge. Based on this consideration, parity-odd fragmentation functions can be introduced in the high energy reactions. In this paper, we calculate the differential cross-section in terms of both the parity-even and parity-odd fragmentation functions in semi-inclusive electron positron annihilation process. Semi-inclusive implies that not only a vector meson in one jet but also the back-to-back jet is measured in this reaction. According to the differential cross-section, we further calculate the azimuthal asymmetries and hadron polarizations in terms of fragmentation functions. A method of measuring the parity violating effects in the semi-inclusive annihilation process is suggested.

The QCD factorization expression has been revisited to the sum of two spin-dependent structure functions ĝ1 and ĝ2 for e++e-→B+X. We find that there exist some spurious quark-mass contributions in an expression derived earlier by Lu, Li and Hu. Their removal guarantees that the measurements of ĝ1 and ĝ2 indeed construct a determination of twist-three transverse spin-dependent fragmentation function, ĝT, in the case of inclusive Λ production in electron–positron annihilation.

We present recent measurements of τ decays into final states with kaons, which are based on several hundred million τ+τ- pairs produced in electron-positron annihilation data collected with the BABAR detector. These measurements can be used to determine the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |Vus| with a tiny systematic error and in two different methods affected by different systematic effects.
