The final state hadrons in polarised deep inelastic scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
General arguments suggest that the non-perturbative background field in QCD may have a non-trivial spin structure. We discuss how this effect may be manifest in semi-inclusive measurements of fast pions in polarised deep inelastic scattering.

Single Spin Asymmetries on a Transversely Polarised Proton Target at Compass
COMPASS is a running fixed-target experiment at the CERN SPS with a rich physics program focused on nucleon spin structure and on hadron spectroscopy. One of the main goals of the spin program is the measurement of the transverse spin effects in semi-inclusive DIS off transversely polarised nucleons. In the years 2002, 2003 and 2004 data have been taken using a 160 GeV /c naturally polarised µ ...
متن کاملAsymmetries in Deep Inelastic Scattering
We demonstrate that the angular distribution of hadrons produced in semiinclusive deep inelastic final states is related to the inclusive longitudinal structure function. This relation could provide a new method of accessing FL(x,Q 2) in deep inelastic scattering measurements. The internal structure of the proton as probed in deep inelastic lepton-proton scattering can be parameterised in terms...
متن کاملHadron formation and attenuation in deep inelastic lepton scattering off nuclei
We investigate hadron formation in deep inelastic lepton scattering on N , Kr and Xe nuclei in the kinematic regime of the HERMES experiment. The elementary electron-nucleon interaction is described within the event generator PYTHIA while a full coupled-channel treatment of the final state interactions is included by means of a BUU transport model. We find a good agreement with the measured cha...
متن کاملPositivity bounds on spin-one distribution and fragmentation functions
We establish a connection between the distribution functions of quarks in spin-one hadrons and the helicity matrix for forward scattering of antiquarks off spin-one hadrons. From positivity of this matrix we obtain inequality relations among the distribution functions. Analogous relations hold also for fragmentation functions. The bounds we obtained can be used to constrain estimates of unknown...
متن کاملQCD predictions for polarised deep inelastic scattering accompanied by a forward jet in the low x region of possible HERA measurements
We estimate the cross-section and asymmetry relevant for the production of forward jets in polarised deep inelastic scattering in the region of small values of x which can be probed at possible polarised HERA measurements. The kinematical cuts implemented in our analysis are the same as those which were used in the unpolarised deep inelastic scattering at HERA. The calculations are based on the...
