COMPASS的横向和$Λ$极化

Transversity and $Λ$ polarization at COMPASS

Andrea Moretti

摘要:

由于夸克的初始极化可以通过超子的弱衰变传递到超子中并被观测到,因此研究横向极化靶的半包含深度非弹性散射(SIDIS)中的$Λ$极化是获得横向性的一个重要途径。COMPASS测量了$Λ$横向感应极化,它是比约肯$x$、$Λ$携带的碎裂夸克的纵向动量的分数$z$和$Λ$横向动量$P_T$的函数。结果在相空间的所有区域都与零相容。在横向性是效价对象的假设下,横向性函数的先前知识允许获得关于极化和非极化的$z-$整合的$Λ$碎裂函数的比率的信息。另一方面,如果$Λ$极化完全由$s$夸克引起,或者如果应用夸克-双夸克模型,则可以获得关于$s$夸克横向性函数的信息。

英文摘要:

The study of $Λ$ polarization in Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) with a transversely polarized target has often been suggested as a privileged way to access transversity, as the initial quark polarization can be transmitted to the hyperon and then observed via its weak decay. COMPASS measured the $Λ$ transversity-induced polarization as a function of Bjorken $x$, of the fraction $z$ of the longitudinal momentum of the fragmenting quark carried by the $Λ$ and of the $Λ$ transverse momentum $P_T$. The results are compatible with zero in all regions of phase space. Under the hypothesis that transversity is a valence object, the previous knowledge of the transversity function allows to get information on the ratio of polarized and unpolarized $z-$integrated $Λ$ fragmentation functions. On the other hand, if the $Λ$ polarization is entirely due to the $s$ quark, or if a quark-diquark model is applied, information can be obtained on the $s$ quark transversity function.
