Measurement of azimuthal asymmetries in inclusive production of hadron pairs in e(+)e(-) annihilation at Belle.

چکیده
The Collins effect connects transverse quark spin with a measurable azimuthal dependence in the yield of hadronic fragments around the quark's momentum vector. Using two different reconstruction methods, we find evidence of statistically significant azimuthal asymmetries for charged pion pairs in e(+)e(-) annihilation at a center-of-mass energy of 10.52 GeV, which can be attributed to a transverse polarization of the primordial quarks. The measurement was performed using a sample of 79 x 10(6) hadronic events collected with the Belle detector.

Angular dependences in inclusive two-hadron production at BELLE
A collection of results is presented relevant for the analysis of azimuthal asymmetries in inclusive twohadron production at BELLE. The aim of this overview is to provide theoretical ingredients necessary to extract the Collins effect fragmentation function. The latter arises within the Collins–Soper factorization formalism, which describes both the transverse momentum and Q2 dependence of the ...
متن کاملUniversality of T-odd effects in single spin and azimuthal asymmetries
We analyze the transverse-momentum-dependent distribution and fragmentation functions in space-like and time-like hard processes involving at least two hadrons, in particular, 1-particle inclusive leptoproduction, the Drell–Yan process and two-particle inclusive hadron production in electron–positron annihilation. As is well known, transverse momentum dependence allows for the appearance of uns...
متن کاملRealistic estimate of valence transversity from dihadron production
We have updated our extraction of the transversity parton distribution based on the analysis of pion-pair production in deep-inelastic scattering off transversely polarized targets in collinear factorization. The most recent COMPASS data for proton and deuteron targets, complemented by previous HERMES data on the proton, make it possible to perform a flavor separation of the valence components ...

The measurement of the so far unknown chiral-odd quark transverse spin distribution in either semi-inclusive DIS (SIDIS) or inclusive measurements in pp collisions at RHIC has an additional chiral-odd fragmentation function appearing in the cross section. This chiral-odd fragmentation functions (FF) can for example be the so-called Collins FF [1] or the Interference FF. HERMES [2] has given a f...

We study the production of J/ψ + cc̄ in ee annihilation through two virtual photons. The cross section is estimated to be 23 fb at √ s = 10.6 GeV, which is smaller by a factor of six than the calculated cross section for the same process but through one virtual photon. As a result, while the annihilation into two photons may be important for certain exclusive production processes, the big gap be...
