3. Introduction • Internal structure of exotic hadrons • Parton distribution functions (PDFs) • Measured by deeply inelastic scattering (DIS ) experiments • Need stable targets (ex. proton) • Exotic hadron ? • Decay • Short life time, no stable target • Produced hadrons in e+e- scattering • p, k, p, a0, f0, et al. • Fragmentation functions (FFs) • Information about internal structure of produced hadrons

4. Favored F Disfavored F Z=Eh/Eq Fragmentation Functions (FFs) • Information of hadronization • Containing no perturbative object • Determined by a global analysis with experimental data in e++e h+X • Similar behavior to PDFs • Favored FF: like valence quarks • A constituent of produced hadrons • Peak position at medium and large-z • Disfavored FF: like sea quarks • Peak position at small-z

5. : scaling variable : j →isplitting function Global analysis of FF • Cross sections: observable • DGLAP equation: • Scale Q=mF=mR =s: center of mass energy Coefficient Function calculable in pQCD Fragmentation Function extracted from experiments

6. Fragmentation functions of f0(980) • Functional form of initial distributions at Q02 • Constraint condition • 2nd moment should be finite and less than 1

12. Comparison of data with theory • Large uncertainty • Consistent with deviation of experimental data with their errors • Rather large uncertainty at low Q2 • Reducing the uncertainties • Needs of precise data • Wide rage of Q2 • Determination of gluon FF • Belle experiment s~10 GeV • Heavy quark tagged data • Charm, bottom quark → f0(980)
