Non-singlet fragmentation functions of pions and kaons are determined at NNLO QCD from charge asymmetry measurements in e+e- annihilation and SIDIS, yielding a scaling index of 0.7 and strangeness suppression of 0.5.

abstract
Precise measurements of charged-kaon multiplicities in deep inelastic scattering were performed. The results are presented in three-dimensional bins of the Bjorken scaling variable x, the relative virtual-photon energy y, and the fraction z of the virtual-photon energy carried by the produced hadron. The data were obtained by the COMPASS Collaboration by scattering 160 GeV muons off an isoscalar 6 LiD target. They cover the kinematic domain 1 (GeV/c)2 < Q2 < 60 (GeV/c)^2 in the photon virtuality, 0.004 < x < 0.4, 0.1 < y < 0.7, 0.20 < z < 0.85, and W > 5 GeV/c^2 in the invariant mass of the hadronic system. The results from the sum of the z-integrated K+ and K- multiplicities at high x point to a value of the non-strange quark fragmentation function larger than obtained by the earlier DSS fit.

UNVERDICTED 3representative citing papers
New SIDIS multiplicity measurements for kaons and protons on proton and deuteron targets with model comparisons showing agreement for K+ but discrepancies for K- and protons versus TMD predictions.
Global QCD fit at NLO and NNLO extracts unidentified charged-hadron fragmentation functions from SIA plus modern COMPASS SIDIS multiplicities, producing publicly available HAPS-hFF1.0 replicas with improved light-quark constraints.
