Cahn and Sivers effects in the target fragmentation region of SIDIS
نویسنده
چکیده
LEPTO event generator is modified to describe the azimuthal modulations arising from Cahn and Sivers effects. The comparisons with some existing data in the current fragmentation region of SIDIS are presented. The predictions for Cahn and Sivers asymmetries in the target fragmentation region are presented for SIDIS of 12 GeV electrons off proton target.

Including Cahn and Sivers Effects into Event Generators
It is demonstrated that event generators LEPTO and PYTHIA can be modified to describe some azimuthal modulations. The comparisons of results obtained with modified LEPTO with existing data in the current fragmentation region of SIDIS are presented for Cahn and Sivers effects as well as the predictions for the target fragmentation region. The predictions for Sivers effect in the Drell–Yan proces...
متن کاملOn the Universality of Collins Functions
Collins functions are quark fragmentation functions responsible for some single spin asymmetries in hadronic processes. The functions are defined with gauge links pointing to different directions in different processes. By replacing hadrons with QCD partons we show the universality of Collins functions at parton level. We give arguments to support that the universality also holds at hadron leve...
متن کاملSivers and Collins Effects: from SIDIS to Proton-Proton Inclusive Pion Production
e + e − experimental data and investigate to what extent they might explain the large Single Spin Asymmetries (SSA) observed in proton-proton inclusive processes. This phenomenological study is performed within the TMD factorization scheme. As the SIDIS data cover only a limited range of x values (x ∼ < 0.3), we allow for different large x behaviours of the SIDIS Sivers functions and transversi...
متن کاملStatus of Sivers and Collins Single Spin Asymmetries
Single spin asymmetries (SSA) in hard reactions have a long history dating back to the 1970s when significant polarizations of Λ-hyperons in collisions of unpolarized hadrons were observed [1], and to the early 1990s when large asymmetries in pp → πX or pp̄ → πX were found at FNAL [2]. No fully consistent and satisfactory unifying approach to the theoretical description of these observations has...
متن کاملSingle 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 ...
