In this talk, we discuss the extraction of Dihadron Fragmentation Functions (DiFFs) beyond leading order. In particular, we review the latest extraction by the MAP Collaboration of the Unpolarized Dihadron Fragmentation Functions (DiFFs) from a fit of the 2017 BELLE data for the inclusive $\pi^+\pi^-$ pair production within the same jet in $e^+e^-$ annihilations. This new extraction improves the perturbative QCD accuracy by including NNLO calculations, relies on Monte Carlo generators only for flavor decomposition, and complements the traditional physics-informed parametrization with a Neural Network extraction. We also discuss the setup for the extraction of the transversely polarized DiFFs, where we revisit the NLO calculation for $e^+e^-$ annihilation into a transversely polarized quark-antiquark pair, obtaining a result different from the one reported in the literature.
We discuss the factorization of scattering processes near partonic threshold at next-to-leading power (NLP) in the threshold variable $1-z$, with $z \equiv q^2/\hat{s}$. We review the general structure of power-suppressed contributions both in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) and in a direct QCD approach, and dis...

The Heavy Meson (Hymn) collaboration presents a new extraction of D meson fragmentation functions using experimental data from LEP and LHC. We focus particularly on kinematical regimes where perturbative QCD should be safely applicable to avoid contamination from higher-twist effects which could lead to an apparent pro...

The strange quark and antiquark contents of the proton remain weakly constrained compared to the other light quarks, particularly the asymmetry between the two. Production of a $W^\mp$ boson in association with a charmed meson $D^{(*)\pm}$ could provide additional constraints in future fits of parton distribution funct...

We have implemented the recent extension of the string+${}^3P_0$ model of spin-dependent hadronization that includes the production of spin-$1/2$ baryons in the Pythia event generator for the simulation of deep inelastic scattering (DIS). The implementation in Pythia is performed by extending the StringSpinner package,...
To account for the soft transverse dynamics overlooked by the $k_T$ factorization formalism of exclusive QCD processes, we propose introducing the intrinsic transversal momentum distribution functions (iTMDs), in conjunction with the light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs), to define the probability amplitude for fi...
In this manuscript, we analyze the contribution of fragmentation mechanisms to the inclusive hadroproduction of heavy quarkonium pairs, taking into account both single- and double-hadron (dihadron) fragmentation channels. To estimate the contribution of the latter mechanism, we construct a microscopic perturbative mode...
