COMPASS results on the transverse spin asymmetry in identified dihadron production in SIDIS — •Christopher Braun — Univ. Erlangen
The parton distribution function h1q(x) of a transversely polarized
quark q inside a transversely polarized nucleon, is chiral-odd and therefore
not accessible in inclusive deep-inelastic scattering. It can only be observed in
semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) in combination with another
chiral-odd function like the dihadron interference fragmentation function (IFF)
H1,q◁. The 160 GeV/c polarized muon beam of CERNs
M2 beamline allows COMPASS to investigate transverse spin effects
using polarized solid state targets.
In this contribution an overview of COMPASS results for the azimuthal asymmetry
in identified dihadron production is given. Taking advantage of the very
precise particle identification of the apparatus using the RICH detector an
identification of the hadrons which form the pairs in terms of pions and kaons
was performed. Recently, the full set of this asymmetry from the COMPASS data
on the deuteron and the proton target is available. The latter has been taken
in the years 2007 and 2010, while the deuteron date dates back to the years
2003 and 2004. Data sets from same targets have been combined and analyzed
using homogeneous cuts and methods. This allows for a detailed comparison of
the obtained results to each other, to the corresponding results of the
HERMES experiment and to model predictions. Furthermore an extraction of the so-called "Transversity"
distribution h1(x) for u and d quarks was carried out.
