COMPASS的横向自旋效应

Transverse Spin Effects at COMPASS

C. Schill

摘要:

研究深部非弹性散射中的横自旋和横动量效应是COMPASS合作组的重点物理项目之一。在2002年至2004年期间,COMPASS在横向极化的6LiD靶上获得了160 GeV μ子的散射数据。2007年,使用了横向极化的NH3靶。分析了三种不同的获取横向分布函数的途径:单强子的方位角分布(涉及Collins碎裂函数)、强子对所在平面的方位角依赖性(涉及双强子干涉碎裂函数)和末态λ超子的横向极化测量。通过测量Sivers分布函数,研究了横极化核子中的横夸克动量效应。非极化半包容深度非弹性散射中的方位不对称性也提供了关于核子内部结构的重要信息,并且可以用来估计非极化核子中的夸克横动量和访问迄今未测量的Boer-Mulders函数。COMPASS使用自旋平均的6LiD数据测量了这些不对称性。

英文摘要:

The investigation of transverse spin and transverse momentum effects in deep inelastic scattering is one of the key physics programs of the COMPASS collaboration. In the years 2002-2004 COMPASS took data scattering 160 GeV muons on a transversely polarized 6LiD target. In 2007, a transversely polarized NH3 target was used. Three different channels to access the transversity distribution function have been analyzed: The azimuthal distribution of single hadrons, involving the Collins fragmentation function, the azimuthal dependence of the plane containing hadron pairs, involving the two-hadron interference fragmentation function, and the measurement of the transverse polarization of lambda hyperons in the final state. Transverse quark momentum effects in a transversely polarized nucleon have been investigated by measuring the Sivers distribution function. Azimuthal asymmetries in unpolarized semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering give important information on the inner structure of the nucleon as well, and can be used to estimate both the quark transverse momentum in an unpolarized nucleon and to access the so-far unmeasured Boer-Mulders function. COMPASS has measured these asymmetries using spin-averaged 6LiD data.
