Results on light quark fragmentation from Belle

Abstract

Results on light quark fragmentation from Belle The knowledge of parton fragmentation functions are important for our understanding of semi-inclusive hard scattering processes. Fragmentation functions can be extracted from e+e- annihilation cross-section measurements independently of the knowledge of parton distribution functions. Using record breaking luminosities delivered by KEKB, the Belle experiment at KEK in Japan recorded about 1 ab$^{-1}$ between 1999 and 2010, mostly at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. This contribution will show recent results on measurements related to light quark fragmentation using Belle data and discuss prospects at Belle II.
