Description
High-energy collision processes where multiple hadrons are detected in the final state provide a rich structure to probe QCD dynamics. Establishing the correct quantum field-theoretic operator definition of multi-hadron fragmentation functions is critical in this regard. I will discuss the latest developments in the theory of multi-hadron fragmentation functions in interpreting them as number densities and deriving their associated evolution equations as well as their connection to factorization formulas.
