Description

We present the complete structure of the azimuthal dependences and polarization observables for two-hadron production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation processes within a TMD approach adopting the helicity formalism. The leading-twist quark and gluon TMD fragmentation functions (FFs) for spin-1/2 hadrons, with their properties and their probabilistic interpretation, are fully accounted for.
The role of the polarizing FF is discussed in detail and its extraction from Belle data for the transverse polarization of $\Lambda$'s is shown. Predictions for SIDIS processes at EIC are presented.
