Nucleon Transversity Properties through Ep Scattering *
نویسنده
چکیده
The T-odd distribution functions contributing to transversity properties of the nucleon and their role in fueling nontrivial contributions to azimuthal asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering are investigated. We use a dynamical model to evaluate these quantities in terms of HERMES kinematics. We point out how the measurements of cos 2φ asymmetry may indicate the presence of T-odd structures in unpolarized ep scattering.

I review the ways that have been proposed to measure the quark transversity distribution in the nucleon. I then explain a proposal, developed by Xuemin Jin, Jian Tang and myself, to measure transversity through the final state interaction between two mesons (ππ, KK, or πK) produced in the current fragmentation region in deep inelastic scattering on a transversely polarized nucleon.

Exciting and even unexpected results have been presented in the sessions about “polarized lepton nucleon scattering”, at the DIS 99 workshop. Most striking are the presentations of the flavor decomposition of the quark polarization, the first direct observation of a positive gluon polarization in the nucleon and the observation of a double-spin asymmetry in diffractive ρ production. First resul...

We introduce twist-two quark interference fragmentation functions in helicity density matrix formalism and study their physical implications. We show how the nucleon’s transversity distribution can be probed through the final state interaction between two mesons (π+π−, KK, or πK) produced in the current fragmentation region in deep inelastic scattering on a transversely polarized nucleon. Submi...
متن کاملFlavor-spin Symmetry and the Tensor Charge∗
Investigations of the spin composition of the nucleon have led to surprising insights, beginning with the revelation that the majority of its spin is carried by quark and gluonic orbital angular momenta and gluon spin rather than by quark helicity. In addition, considerable effort has gone into understanding, predicting and measuring the transversity distribution, h1(x), of the nucleon. 3 Trans...
