Deep inelastic leptoproduction of spin-one hadrons
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we analyze deep inelastic one-particle inclusive processes for the case of spin-one targets or for the case of spin-one produced hadrons, such as r mesons. This allows the measurement of new distribution and fragmentation functions not available in the spin-half case, and provides new ways to probe functions otherwise difficult to measure. We will analyze only contributions leading order in 1/Q , but we will include effects of the transverse momentum of partons. We also include time-reversal odd functions.

Transverse spin and transverse momenta in hard scattering processes
Inclusive and semi-inclusive deep inelastic leptoproduction offers possibilities to study details of the quark and gluon structure of the hadrons involved. In many of these experiments polarization is an essential ingredient. We also emphasize the dependence on transverse momenta of the quarks, which leads to azimuthal asymmetries in the produced hadrons.

We discuss bounds on the distribution and fragmentation functions that appear at leading order in deep inelastic 1-particle inclusive leptoproduction or in Drell-Yan processes. These bounds simply follow from positivity of the quarkhadron scattering matrix elements and are an important guide in estimating the magnitude of the azimuthal and spin asymmetries in these processes. We focus on an exa...

Current fragmentation in semiinclusive deep inelastic leptoproduction offers, besides refinement of inclusive measurements such as flavor separation and access to the chiral-odd quark distribution functions hq1(x) = δq(x), the possibility to investigate intrinsic transverse momentum of hadrons via azimuthal asymmetries.

We discuss specific observables that can be measured in deep inelastic leptoproduc-tion in the case of 1-particle inclusive measurements, namely azimuthal asymmetries and power-suppressed (higher twist) corrections. These quantities contain information on the intrinsic transverse momentum of partons, with close connection to the gluon dynamics in hadrons. The use of polarization in leptoproduct...

In these lectures I want to discuss how the structure functions in deep inelastic scattering relate to quark and gluon correlation functions. In particular we will consider the issue of intrinsic transverse momenta of quarks, which becomes important in processes like 1-particle inclusive leptoproduction. Some examples of cross sections and asymmetries, in particular in polarized scattering proc...
