Abstract
We propose to describe semi-inclusive hard processes in perturbative Q CD by means of ''fracture'' functions, hybrids between structure and f ragmentation functions. We argue that fracture functions factorize cor rectly and evolve in Q2 in a predictable way. As an application, we di scuss how information on fracture functions obtained at HERA can be us ed to compute inclusive processes at future hadron colliders.
