Description

We propose a new definition of unintegrated di-hadron fragmentation functions (DiFFs) which is compatible with the probability interpretation of collinear DiFFs. We also derive the leading-order evolution equations for those DiFFs. Furthermore, we compare our findings in detail with previous results in the literature. Unintegrated DiFFs are important for obtaining information on the transversity distributions of the nucleon from existing and future data on di-hadron production in semi-inclusive DIS and in proton-proton collisions.
