We present new sets of pion and kaon fragmentation functions obtained in NLO combined analyses of single-inclusive hadron production in electron-positron annihilation, proton-proton collisions, and deep-inelastic lepton-proton scattering with either pions or kaons identified in the final state. At variance with all previous fits, the present analyses take into account data where hadrons of different electrical charge are identified, which allow to discriminate quark from anti-quark fragmentation functions without the need of non trivial flavor symmetry assumptions. The resulting sets are in good agreement with all data analyzed, which cover a much wider kinematical range than in previous fits. An extensive use of the Lagrange multiplier technique is made in order to assess the uncertainties in the extraction of the fragmentation functions and the synergy from the complementary data sets in our global analysis.

  1. Improvement for Color Glass Condensate factorization: single hadron production in pA collisions at next-to-leading order

    nucl-th 2019-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new rapidity regulator for CGC factorization yields an NLO cross section for pA single hadron production that stays positive and has reduced scale uncertainty.

  2. Unbiased Data-Driven Determination of the Nuclear Dipole Amplitude in the Color Glass Condensate

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The 208Pb dipole amplitude is learned from R_pPb and coherent J/ψ photoproduction data with the BK equation embedded in training, giving Q²_s0(Pb)/Q²_s0(p) = 3.17 and an MV-type initial condition.

  3. Benchmarking the Nearside Energy-Energy Correlators with Mellin Transform

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Mellin-transform framework with one fitted transition scale Λ describes nearside EECs in e+e− annihilation at NNLO+NNLL accuracy across ALEPH and earlier data.

    Analytic 1/Q² corrections to the four unpolarized SIDIS structure functions are derived from the rapidity-factorization 'gauge-completion' approach, giving f1⊗D1 and h1^⊥⊗H1^⊥ convolutions with numerical estimates for...

  5. Energy loss and theoretical uncertainties in small quark-gluon plasmas

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A pQCD energy loss model with short-pathlength corrections shows the large formation time approximation fails self-consistently and, after a one-parameter fit, describes RHIC small systems while failing LHC small systems.

  6. Measurement of $\mathbf{q_T}$-weighted transverse-spin-dependent azimuthal asymmetries at COMPASS

    hep-ex 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    COMPASS reports preliminary qT-weighted Drell-Yan transverse spin asymmetries from 2015 plus half of 2018 data, and extracts the first transverse moment of the pion Boer-Mulders TMD PDF.

  7. One-Point energy correlator inside jets

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A TMD factorization and NNLL resummation is derived for a one-point energy correlator inside jets, and the normalized observable mainly depends on the jet scale, with sensitivity to gluon TMDFFs.

  8. Applications of the WW-type approximation to SIDIS

    hep-ph 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Applies the WW-type approximation to relate TMDs and FFs and approximate the complete SIDIS cross-section up to power-suppressed terms.
