چکیده

We investigate the single-spin asymmetries in inclusive and exclusive processes of electron-proton scattering and electron-positron annihilation. In the decomposition of hadronic tensor, a Lorentz symmetric spin-dependent term is generally present. The existence of such a term implies single-spin asymmetries in these processes and these single-spin asymmetries for baryons can be understood in a unified manner. We argue that it is important to measure the single-spin asymmetries in both inclusive and exclusive processes for the Λ production at the present B-factories. This will lead to the first measurement of the structure function of the symmetric spin-dependent hadronic tensor in these processes. PACS numbers: 12.38.-t, 13.66.Bc, 13.60.Hb, 11.15.tk

Single Spin Asymmetries in Dis

We consider possible mechanisms for single spin asymmetries in inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) processes with unpolarized leptons and transversely polarized nucleons. Tests for the effects of non-zero intrinsic k⊥, for the properties of spin dependent quark fragmentations and for quark helicity conservation are suggested. Single spin asymmetries in large pT inclusive hadronic reaction...

An improved analysis of k ⊥ effects for SSA in hadronic collisions ∗

The role of intrinsic transverse momentum both in unpolarized and polarized processes is discussed. We consider inclusive cross sections for pion production in hadronic collisions and for Drell-Yan processes. We reanalyze transverse single spin asymmetries (SSA) in inclusive pion production , p ↑ p → π X, in terms of Sivers effect and show its contribution to AUL in semi-inclusive DIS (SIDIS). ...

A General Formalism for Single and Double Spin Asymmetries in Inclusive Hadron Production

We present a calculation of single and double spin asymmetries for inclusive hadron production in hadronic collisions. Our approach is based on Leading Order (LO) perturbative QCD and generalized factorization theorems, with full account of intrinsic parton momentum, k⊥, effects. This leads to a new class of spin and k⊥dependent distribution and fragmentation functions. Limiting ourselves to co...

Single Hadronic - Spin Asymmetries in Weak Interaction Processes

We show that measurements of single-spin asymmetries (SSAs) in charged current weak interaction processes such as deep inelastic neutrino scattering on a polarized target and inclusive W production in polarized hadron-hadron collisions discriminate between the two fundamental QCD mechanisms (the Sivers and Collins effects) which have been proposed to explain such time-reversal-odd asymmetries. ...

Quark flavor tagging in polarized hadronic processes

We describe a general approach to quark flavor tagging in polarized hadronic processes, with particular emphasis on semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. A formalism is introduced that allows one to relate chosen quark flavor polarizations to an arbitrary combination of final-state hadron asymmetries. Within the context of the presented formalism, we quantify the sensitivity of various semi...
