ALT in the Nucleon-Nucleon Polarized Drell-Yan Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a leading order (LO) estimate for the longitidinal-transverse spin asymmetry (ALT ) in the nucleon-nucleon polarized Drell-Yan process at RHIC and HERA~ N energies in comparison with ALL and ATT . ALT receives contribution from g1, the transversity distribution h1, and the twist-3 distributions gT and hL. For the twist-3 contribution we use the bag model prediction evolved to a high energy scale by the large-Nc evolution equation. We found that ALT (normalized by the asymmetry in the parton level) is much smaller than the corresponding ATT . Twist-3 contribution given by the bag model turned out to be negligible.

Twist-3 effects in polarized Drell-Yan and semi-inclusive DIS
Spin dependent processes in high energy scatterings provide us with a possibility to extract twist-3 distribution and fragmentation functions which represent quark-gluon correlations inside the hadrons. A well known example is the nucleon’s transverse spin-structure function g2(x,Q ). In this report, we discuss two other processes in which twist-3 distribution functions reveal themselves as a l...

متن کاملDouble-Spin Asymmetry ALT for Polarized Drell-Yan Process in pp̄ Collisions: Wandzura-Wilczek Contribution
The longitudinal-transverse spin asymmetry ALT in the polarized Drell-Yan process depends on twist-3 quark distributions of nucleon. In addition to the contributions associated with the twist-3 operators, these distributions contain the “Wandzura-Wilczek (WW)” part, which is determined by a certain integral of twist-2 distributions. The recently obtained empirical information on the transversit...
متن کاملResummation in Transversely Polarized Drell - Yan Process
Hard processes with polarized nucleon beams enable us to study spin-dependent dynamics of QCD and the spin structure of nucleon. The helicity distribution ∆q(x) of quarks within nucleon has been measured in polarized DIS experiments, and ∆G(x) of gluons has also been estimated from the scaling violations of them. On the other hand, the transversity distribution δq(x), i.e. the distribution of t...

The longitudinal-transverse spin asymmetry ALT in the polarized Drell-Yan process depends on the twist-3 spin-dependent distributions of nucleon. In addition to the contributions expressed as matrix element of the twist-3 operators, these distributions contain the so-called Wandzura-Wilczek part, which is completely determined by a certain integral of the twist-2 spin-dependent parton distribut...
