-Odd Effects in Unpolarized Drell-Yan Scattering

چکیده
We consider the leading twist T -odd contributions as the dominant source of the cos 2φ azimuthal asymmetry in unpolarized pp̄ → μμ X dilepton production in Drell-Yan Scattering. This asymmetry contains information on the distribution of quark transverse spin in an unpolarized proton. In a parton-spectator framework we estimate these asymmetries at 50 GeV center of mass energy. This azimuthal asymmetry is interesting in light of proposed experiments at GSI, where an anti-proton beam is ideal for studying the transversity properties of quarks due to the dominance of valence quark effects.

Novel Azimuthal Asymmetries in Drell Yan and Semi-inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering
We consider the leading and sub-leading twist T -odd and even contributions to the cos2φ azimuthal asymmetry in unpolarized dilepton production in Drell-Yan Scattering. We estimate the contributions’ effects at 500 GeV, 50GeV, and 25GeV energies in the framework of the parton model using a quark diquark-spectator model of the nucleon to approximate the soft contributions.

We show that initial-state interactions contribute to the cos 2φ distribution in unpolarized Drell-Yan lepton pair production p p and p p → `+`−X, without suppression. The asymmetry is expressed as a product of chiral-odd distributions h1 (x1, p 2 ⊥) × h ⊥ 1 (x2, k 2 ⊥), where the quark-transversity function h1 (x, p 2 ⊥) is the transverse momentum dependent, light-cone momentum distribution of...
متن کاملIntrinsic transverse momentum and transverse spin asymmetries
We investigate leading twist transverse momentum dependent origins of transverse spin asymmetries in hadron-hadron collisions. The chiral-odd T-odd distribution function with intrinsic transverse momentum dependence, which would signal an intrinsic handedness of quarks inside a hadron, could account for single spin asymmetries and at the same time for the large cos 2φ asymmetry in the unpolariz...

We show that initial-state interactions contribute to the cos 2φ distribution in unpolarized Drell-Yan lepton pair production p p and p p → l+l−X, without suppression. The asymmetry is expressed as a product of chiral-odd distributions h1 (x1,p 2 ⊥) × h ⊥ 1 (x2,k 2 ⊥), where the quark-transversity function h1 (x,p 2 ⊥) is the transverse momentum dependent, light-cone momentum distribution of tr...
متن کاملTransversity of Quarks and Nucleons in Sidis and Drell Yan
One of the persistent challenges confronting the QCD parton model is the explanation of the significant azimuthal and single spin asymmetries that emerge in inclusive and semi-inclusive processes . Going beyond the collinear approximation in PQCD recent progress has been achieved in characterizing these asymmetries in terms of absorptive scattering . Such asymmetries involve time-reversal-odd (...
