We also propose a new jet-like observable which measures beam remnants and low-$p_{\perp}$ scattering fragments and derive its QCD evolution equations by using Jet Calculus. Possible implications for semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and hadron-hadron reactions are shortly discussed.10 pages, 5 figures, revtex4High Energy Physics - PhenomenologyA New Fracture Function Approach to QCD Initial State Radiationtext
