SLIDE 31 Fragmentation Functions Systematics
Large variations of the multiplicities with the choice of FFs, why?
Parton model: M K(xB, Q2) = Q(xB, Q2)R DK
Q (z, Q2)dz + S(xB, Q2)R DK S (z, Q2)dz
5Q(xB, Q2) + 2S(xB, Q2)
Q(x) ≡ u(x) + ¯ u(x) + d(x) + ¯ d(x) S(x) ≡ s(x) + ¯ s(x)
DK
S (z) ≡ 2DK s (z)
DK
Q (z) ≡ 4DK u (z) + DK d (z) 31
Large uncertainty with the choice of FFs because
