Proposals for Measuring Transversity Distributions in Deep Inelastic Electron Scattering and a Model for E-704 Asymmetries
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the principles of the measurement of the quark transversity distributions in semi-inclusive deep inelastic electron scattering, which form the basis of HELP and one of the ELFE proposals. A string model for Collins-type asymmetry in polarized quark fragmentation function is proposed. A possible role of the Collins effect in the single spin asymmetries observed by experiment E 704 at Fermilab is suggested. 1 Contribution to the V International Workshop on High Energy Spin Physics, SPIN-93, September 20-24, 1993, Protvino, Russia

Nucleon Transversity Distribution from Azimuthal Spin Asymmetry in Pion Electroproduction
The azimuthal asymmetry observed by the HERMES collaboration in semi-inclusive pion production in deep inelastic scattering of unpolarized positron on the longitudinally polarized proton target, can provide information of the quark transversity distributions of the nucleon. We show that the quark transversity distributions predicted both by the light-cone quark-spectator-diquark model and by a ...
متن کاملNucleon Transversity Properties through Ep Scattering *
The T-odd distribution functions contributing to transversity properties of the nucleon and their role in fueling nontrivial contributions to azimuthal asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering are investigated. We use a dynamical model to evaluate these quantities in terms of HERMES kinematics. We point out how the measurements of cos 2φ asymmetry may indicate the presence of T-o...
متن کاملTransversity Distribution in Spin Asymmetries in Semi-inclusive Dis and in the Drell-yan Process
A review is given on single spin asymmetries in deep inelastic semi-inclusive scattering (SIDIS) and their possible theoretical understanding in the framework of QCD-induced factorization approach, wherefore predictions for transversity from the chiral quark soliton model are used. Arising difficulties to interpret most recent SIDIS data, and the possibility to access the transversity distribut...
متن کاملTransversity 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...
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...
