abstract
We show that the quark fragmentation function $D(z)$ and the quark distribution function $q(x)$ are connected in the $z \to 1$ limit by the approximate relation $D(z)/z \simeq q(2-1/z)$, where both quantities are in their physical regions. Predictions for proton production in inelastic $e^+ e^-$ annihilation, based on the new relation and standard parametrizations of quark distribution functions, are found to be compatible with the data.

An analysis of nuclear parton distribution function based on relative entropy
A relative-entropy method with a minimum-relative-entropy hypothesis reproduces quark nPDF shapes from global fits and indicates that EPPS21 gluon central values align more closely with the hypothesis than nNNPDF3.0.
