We study QCD evolution equations of the first transverse-momentum-moment of the naive-time-reversal-odd fragmentation functions - the Collins function and the polarizing fragmentation function. We find for the Collins function case that the evolution kernel has a diagonal piece same as that for the transversity fragmentation function, while for the polarizing fragmentation function case this piece is the same as that for the unpolarized fragmentation function. Our results might have important implications in the current global analysis of spin asymmetries.
Time-reversal odd fragmentation and distribution functions in pp and ep single spin asymmetries
我们提出了一些T奇碎裂和分布函数的估计,$H_1^\perp$和$f_{1T}^{\perp}$,在p $^\uparrow$ p中的实验数据拟合的基础上进行评估。假设T奇碎裂函数负责p $^\uparrow$ p中π介子产生的单自旋不对称性,我们发现$H_1^{\perp}/D_1$的比值与Z -> 2 $-jet decay. We use our estimates to make predictions for ep$ ^ \uparrow的DELPHI数据的实验结果非常一致。
Explaining the fine hierarchy in pion and kaon suppression at LHC: Importance of fragmentation functions
本文集中讨论LHC中心2.76 TeV Pb+Pb碰撞的$π^\pm$和$K^\pm$ ALICE初步$R_{AA}$数据。这些数据显示了有趣的精细分辨率层次,即,与$π^\pm$测量相比,测量的$K^\pm$数据始终具有较低的抑制。在这里,我们要问的是,基于动力学QCD介质中能量损失的理论预言是否能够定量和定性地解释这种精细的分辨率。虽然我们的抑制计算同意与数据,我们发现,定性解释精细的层次结构,关键取决于选择的碎裂功能。虽然最广泛使用的碎裂函数导致所观察到的层次结构的逆转,但最近的版本正确地再现了实验数据。我们在这里指出这种预测差异背后的原因。我们的研究结果表明,理论预测的准确性达到了一个点,在LHC的精细分辨率数据的比较可以产生有用的理解。
We investigate the transverse target spin asymmetry $A^{\sinϕ_{S}}_{UT}$ for the unpolarized $Λ$ production in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering with the transverse momentum of the final-state lambda hyperon being integrated out. The asymmetry is contributed by the product of the transversity distribution function $h_1(x)$ of the nucleon and the collinear twist-3 fragmentation function $\tilde{H}(z)$ of the $Λ$ hyperon. The later one originates from the quark-gluon-quark correlation and is a naive time-reversal-odd function. We calculate $\tilde{H}$ of the $Λ$ hyperon by adopt a diquark…
We re-examine the jet probes of the nucleon spin and flavor structures. We find for the first time the time-reversal odd (T-odd) component of a jet, conventionally thought to vanish, can survive due to the non-perturbative fragmentation and hadronization effects and could be testable. This additional contribution of a jet will lead to novel jet phenomena relevant for unlocking the access to several spin structures of the nucleon, which were thought to be impossible by using jets. As examples, we show how the T-odd constituent can couple to the proton transversity at the Electron Ion Collider (…
Transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) were investigated at the twists 3 and 4 for spin-1 hadrons in addition to the twist-2 ones. They were found by studying all the possible decomposition of a quark correlation function in a Lorentz-invariant way with the Hermiticity and parity invariance. The time-reversal invariance was not imposed for the TMDs due to an active role of gauge links; however, they were used for collinear parton distribution functions (PDFs) by integrating the TMDs over the transverse momentum. We found that 30 TMDs exist in the tensor-polarized sp…
We show possible transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) for spin-1 hadrons including twist-3 and 4 functions in addition to the leading twist-2 ones by investigating all the possible decomposition of a quark correlation function in the Lorentz-invariant way. The Hermiticity and parity invariance are imposed in the decomposition; however, the time-reversal invariance is not used due to an active role of gauge links in the TMDs. Therefore, there exist time-reversal-odd functions in addition to the time-reversal even ones in the TMDs. We list all the functions up to tw…
