Abstract

Using recently published HERMES data on multiplicities in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering, we discuss the flavor dependence of unpolarized transverse-momentum dependent distribution and fragmentation functions. We find convincing indications that favored fragmentation into pions have smaller average transverse momentum than unfavored ones and fragmentation into kaons. We find weaker indications of flavor dependence in the transverse-momentum dependence of parton distributions.
