Two-hadron Single Target-spin Asymmetries: First Measurements by Hermes
نویسنده
چکیده
Single target-spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive two-pion production were measured for the first time by the HERMES experiment, using a longitudinally polarized deuterium target. These asymmetries relate to the unknown transversity distribution function h1(x) through, also unknown, interference fragmentation functions. The presented results are compared with a model for the dependence of one of these interference fragmentation functions on the invariant mass of the pion pair.

COMPASS Results on Transverse Single-Spin Asymmetries
New results on single spin asymmetries of charged hadrons produced in deep-inelastic scattering of muons on a transversely polarised LiD target are presented. The data were taken in the years 2002, 2003 and 2004 with the COMPASS spectrometer using the muon beam of the CERN SPS at 160 GeV/c. Preliminary results are given for the Sivers asymmetry and for all the three “quark polarimeters” present...
متن کاملHadron Spin Dynamics ∗
Spin effects in exclusive and inclusive reactions provide an essential new dimension for testing QCD and unraveling hadron structure. Remarkable new experiments from SLAC, HERMES (DESY), and Jefferson Lab present many challenges to theory, including measurements at HERMES and SMC of the single spin asymmetries in ep→ e′πX where the proton is polarized normal to the scattering plane. This type o...
متن کاملHermes and the Spin of the Proton
HERMES is a second generation experiment to study the spin structure of the nucleon, in which measurements of the spin dependent properties of semi-inclusive deep-inelastic lepton scattering are emphasized. Data have been accumulated for semi-inclusive pion, kaon, and proton double-spin asymmetries, as well as for high-pT hadron pairs, and singlespin azimuthal asymmetries for pion electroproduc...
متن کاملSingle – spin Asymmetries in Semi – inclusive Pion Produc - tion
For the first time single–spin asymmetries in semi–inclusive pion production are measured by the Hermes experiment with a transversely polarised hydrogen target. Two different sine–modulations are extracted which can be related to the transversity δq(x) and Sivers f 1T (x) quark distribution functions. The extracted sine–moments still contain small sub–leading twist contributions which can be e...

Single–spin asymmetries in semi–inclusive pion production are measured by the HERMES experiment for the first time, with a transversely polarised hydrogen target. Two different sine–dependencies are extracted which can be related to the quark distributions transversity h1(x) and the Sivers function f ⊥ 1T (x).
