Description

Track-based observables offer superior angular resolution and pile-up suppression. I developed a theoretical framework to account for the conversion to tracks using track functions, which are a kind of generalized fragmentation functions. I will discuss recent progress, including our determination of the evolution of track functions at order alpha_s^2, from which the evolution of multi-hadron fragmentation functions can be obtained. I will also discuss the use of track functions in new observables, focussing in particular on energy correlators.
