Measuring transversity densities in singly polarized hadron-hadron and lepton-hadron collisions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show how the transverse polarization of a quark initiating a jet can be probed by the azimuthal distribution of two hadrons (of large z) in the jet. This permits a twist 2 asymmetry in hard processes when only one of the initial particles is polarized transversely. Applications to hadron-hadron and lepton-hadron scattering are discussed.

Q-evolution of Spin-dependent Parton Densities
We discuss the NLO evolution of quark transversity densities and of the parton distribution function for linearly polarized gluons in a linearly polarized hadron. A supersymmetric relation between the NLO evolution kernels for transversity and for linear polarization is found. We also study the implications of NLO evolution for Soffer’s inequality and the prospects of measuring transversity den...
متن کاملTheoretical aspects of singly polarized hadron - hadron collisions § ∗
The special role played by singly polarized high-energy hadron-hadron collisions in Spin Physics is discussed: In such processes, the measured and the calculated quantities can be and have been directly compared with each other — without data-extrapolation and without sum rules. It is in this kind of processes, where significant asymmetries (up to 30-40%) have been observed. It is also in this ...
متن کاملSingle 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. ...

Introduction: Radiotherapy with heavy charged particles such as protons and carbon ions (hadron therapy) has been recognized as an advanced technique for the treatment of various cancers. For some indications such as pediatric and radio-resistant tumors, it is considered the preferred method. However, despite its remarkable benefits, development of hadron therapy centers in the...
متن کامل0 Single Spin Asymmetries in Semi - Inclusive Electroproduction : Access to Transversity
We discuss the quark transversity distribution function and a possible way to access it through the measurement of single spin azimuthal asymmetry in semiinclusive single pion electroproduction on a transversely polarized target. At leading order in 1/Q, the cross section for a hard scattering process is given by the convolution of a hard part and a soft part. The former describes the scatterin...
