Twist-3 Single-Spin Asymmetry for SIDIS and its Azimuthal Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
We derive the complete twist-3 single-spin-dependent cross section for semi-inclusive DIS, ep → eπX , associated with the complete set of the twist-3 quark-gluon correlation functions in the transversely polarized nucleon, extending our previous study. The cross section consists of five independent structure functions with different azimuthal dependences, consistently with the transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) factorization approach in the low qT region. Correspondence with the inclusive DIS limit and comparison with the TMD approach are briefly discussed.

We evaluate the single target-spin sin φ h and sin 2φ h azimuthal asymmetries in the semi-inclusive deep inelastic lepton scattering off longitudinally polarized proton target under HER-MES kinematic conditions. A good agreement with the HERMES data can be achieved using only the twist-2 distribution and fragmentation functions. Significant single-spin asymmetries have been observed in experime...
متن کاملTrigluon correlations and single transverse spin asymmetry in open charm production
We study the single transverse-spin asymmetry for open charm production in the semiinclusive lepton-hadron deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) and pp collision. Within collinear factorization approach, we find that the asymmetry is sensitive to the twist-3 trigluon correlation functions in the proton. With a simple model for the trigluon correlation functions, we estimate the asymmetry in SIDIS f...

We consider the single-spin azimuthal asymmetries recently measured at the HERMES experiment for charged pions produced in semi-inclusive deep inelas-tic scattering of leptons off longitudinally polarized protons. Guided by the experimental results and assuming a vanishing twist-2 transverse quark spin distribution in the longitudinally polarized nucleon, denoted as " reduced twist-3 approximat...
متن کاملBeam-spin asymmetries in the azimuthal distribution of pion electroproduction HERMES Collaboration
A measurement of the beam-spin asymmetry in the azimuthal distribution of pions produced in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering off protons is presented. The measurement was performed using the HERMES spectrometer with a hydrogen gas target and the longitudinally polarized 27.6 GeV positron beam of HERA. The sinusoidal amplitude of the dependence of the asymmetry on the angle φ of the hadr...
متن کاملNovel Transversity Properties in SIDIS
We consider a rescattering mechanism to calculate a leading twist T -odd pion fragmentation function, a candidate for filtering the transversity properties of the nucleon. We evaluate the single spin azimuthal asymmetry for a transversely polarized target in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (for HERMES kinematics) and the double T -odd cos2φ asymmetry in this framework. Introduction The...
