Description
Hadronization processes, how particular hadrons are formed from scattered quarks and gluons (partons), is a key area of study in high- energy physics. The Belle II experiment at the asymmetric e+e- collider SuperKEKB offers a high-statistics, clean initial state to extract and refine our understanding of hadronization, including Fragmentation Functions (FFs), which describe the probability distribution of a parton fragmenting into a specific hadron. Ongoing and prospective measurements at Belle II related to di-hadron FF (DiFF), Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) jet function, polarizing FF, as well as probing $\Lambda$ spin correlation, will be discussed. This talk will highlight the importance of Belle II data in understanding FFs and their implications for future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) measurements.
