Medium modified Fragmentation Functions with open source xFitter
arXiv:2101.01088
Abstract
A new analysis of the modification of the hadronization process in the nuclear medium for pions is presented. The effective description is condensed in a set of medium modified fragmentation functions (nFFs) obtained at next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy. The study was made using the open-source tool xFitter, conveniently modified to incorporate semi-inclusive processes. Theoretical uncertainties for the nFFs are also provided.
