Global analysis of fragmentation functions for pions and kaons and their uncertainties

We present new sets of pion and kaon fragmentation functions obtained in next-to-leading order 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...

At variance with all previous fits, the present analyses take into account data where hadrons of different electrical charge are identified, which allow one to discriminate quark from antiquark fragmentation functions without the need of nontrivial 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.
