Fragmentation functions (FFs), which turn partons into non-perturbative hadronic bound states in hard-scattering reactions, represent a key ingredient to address proton spin structure in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and proton-proton collisions. Fragmentation functions can not be determined from perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics and have to be extracted from experimental data in...
