Transversity and Spin Structure Functions
Measurements of single-spin asymmetries for semi-inclusive electro-production of pions and kaons in deep-inelastic scattering with transverse target polarization open a new window on the transverse quark and gluon structure of the nucleon. The first experimental results from such measurements as well as experiments in progress are discussed. Properties of the the spin-dependent Collins fragment...

The ellipsoidally symmetric Buda-Lund hydrodynamic model describes naturally the transverse momentum and the pseudorapidity dependence of the elliptic flow in Au+Au collisions at √ sNN = 130 and 200 GeV. The result confirms the indication of quark deconfinement in Au+Au collisions at RHIC, obtained from Buda-Lund hydro model fits to combined spectra and HBT radii of BRAHMS, PHOBOS, PHENIX and S...
متن کاملMeasurement of Transverse Spin Effects at COMPASS
By measuring transverse single spin asymmetries one has access to the transversity distribution function ∆T q(x) and the transverse momentum dependent Sivers function q T 0 (x,~kT ). New measurements from identified hadrons and hadron pairs, produced in deep inelastic scattering of a transversely polarized LiD target are presented. The data were taken in 2003 and 2004 by the COMPASS collaborati...
متن کاملTransversity in Exclusive and Inclusive Processes
Both meson photoproduction and semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering can potentially probe transversity properties of the nucleon. We explore how that potential can be realized dynamically. The role of rescattering in both exclusive and inclusive meson production as a source for single spin asymmetries is examined. Using a dynamical model, we evaluate the spin independent cos2φ asymmetry ass...

The PHENIX Experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has made measurements of event-by-event fluctuations in the net charge, the mean transverse momentum, and the charged particle multiplicity as a function of collision energy, centrality, and transverse momentum in heavy ion collisions. The results of these measurements will be reviewed and discussed.. 1. Introduction The PHENIX experi...
