We present the first results for the next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) corrections to the semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering process in perturbative quantum chromodynamics. We consider the quark initiated flavor nonsinglet process and obtain the complete contributions analytically at leading color. All relevant virtual and real emission Feynman diagrams have been computed using integration-by-parts reduction to master integrals and two approaches for their subsequent evaluation (parametric phase-space integration and method of differential equations). The numerical analysis demonstrates the significance of the NNLO corrections and their great impact on the reduction of the residual scale dependence.

Semi-inclusive hadron production in longitudinally polarized deep-inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering is a powerful tool for resolving the quark flavor decomposition of the proton's spin structure. We present the full next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the coefficient functions of polarized semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) in analytical form, enabling the use of SIDIS measurements in precision studies of the proton spin structure. The numerical impact of these corrections is illustrated by a comparison with data of polarized single-inclusive hadron spectra from the DESY HERMES and CERN COMPASS experiments.

Semi-inclusive hadron production processes in deep-inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering are important probes of the quark flavor structure of the nucleon and of the fragmentation dynamics of quarks into hadrons. We compute the full next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the coefficient functions for semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering in analytical form. The numerical impact of these corrections for precision physics is illustrated by a detailed comparison with data on single inclusive hadron spectra from the CERN COMPASS experiment.

Article Synopsis
- The study conducts a comprehensive QCD analysis of how quarks fragment into pions, focusing on achieving precision at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) accuracy.
- It combines data from electron-positron annihilation and semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering for the first time to improve the understanding of these fragmentation functions.
- The researchers investigate the effects of NNLO corrections on the semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering data across different kinematic conditions and analyze how this influences the resulting pion fragmentation functions.
