Calculating Dihadron Fragmentation Functions in the NJL-jet model

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

The NJL-jet model provides a framework for calculating fragmentation functions without the introduction of ad hoc parameters. We develop the NJL-jet model to investigate dihadron fragmentation functions (DFFs) of the form Dqh1h2(z1,z2)D^{h_1 h_2}_q(z_1,z_2). Here we studied DFFs for q→{π+π−}q \to \{π^+ π^-\}, {π+K−}\{π^+ K^-\}, and {K+K−}\{K^+ K^-\},with q=u,d,sq = u, d, s. The driving terms, which represent the probability of one of the hadrons being emitted in the first emission step of the quark-jet hadronization picture, dominate the solutions of the DFFs where either z1z_1 or z2z_2 is large, and z1z_1 (z2z_2) is the light-cone momentum fraction of the emitted hadron, h1h_1 (h2h_2). The higher order terms, which represent the probability of neither of the hadrons being emitted in the first emission step of the quark-jet, become more significant as z1z_1 (z2z_2) is lowered. Finally, we present a sample result for QCD evolution of DFFs, that significantly modify the model solutions when evolved to typical hadronic scale of 4GeV24 \mathrm{GeV}^2.
