q(x), G(x)

Difference of quarks with parallel and antiparallel polarization relative to longitudinally polarized proton(known from fixed target (SI)DIS experiments)

q(x),G(x)

q(x)Difference of quarks with parallel and antiparallel polarization relative to transversely polarized proton(first results from HERMES and COMPASS – with the help of Belle)

Unpolarized distribution function q(x)

Helicity distribution function q(x)

Transversity distribution function q(x)

Sum of quarks with parallel and antiparallel polarization relative to proton spin(well known from Collider DIS experiments)

Transversity properties


Helicity flip amplitude Chiral odd Since all interactions

conserve chirality one needs another chiral odd object

Does not couple to gluons different QCD evolution than q(x)

Valence dominated Comparable to Lattice calculations, especially tensor charge

How to access Transversity: another chiral-odd function

Drell Yan: Combine two

Transversity distributions with each other

SIDIS/pp: Combine Transversity

distributions with chiral-odd fragmentation function (FF)

Total process is chiral-even: OK

Possible Partners: Collins FF Interference FF Transverse L FF

Most require single spin asymmetries in the fragmentation

World data and motivation for precise FFs

Most data obtained at LEP energies,

At lower CMS energies very little data available

3-jet fragmentation to access gluon FF theoretically difficult

Gluon fragmentation from evolution not yet well constrained

Higher z FFs (>0.7) hardly available

Current knowledge on fragmentation functions – DSS, HKNS,AKK


DeFlorian, Sassot, Stratmann, Phys.Rev.D75:114010,2007.

Differences between different global fits still large for high-z gluon contributions, kaons and disfavored fragmentation

Hirai, Kumano, Nagai, Sudoh, Phys.Rev.D75:094009,2007

Systematic studies: Particle identification

Particle identification:create PID efficiency matrix for K,,p,e,

PID responses from MC not reliable, use well identified decays from data:Use

Unpolarized 2-hadron fragmentation

Detect two hadrons simultaneously:e+e-hhX

If two hadrons in opposite hemispheres one obtains sensitivity to favored/ disfavored fragmentation:

Difficulty: contribution from one quark fragmentation qhhX

measure all three: (hh)jet1 X

(h) jet1(h) jet2X

hhX, ( ) requires thrust cut

Unlike-sign pion pairs (U):(favored x favored + unfavored x unfavored)

Like-sign pion pairs (L):(favored x unfavored + unfavored x favored)

any charge hadron pairs (C):(favored + unfavored) x (favored + unfavored)

Favored = u,d,cc.Unfavored = d,u,cc.

Sample MC (udsc) distributions -

45 fb-1 sampled (~50% of off resonance data)

PID corrected using Martin’s Matrices

Smearing not yet corrected (but small)

Acceptance not yet corrected

Statistic reasonable out to high z


Sample MC (udsc): ratio

Yield ratios will be almost directly sensitive to disfavored/favored FF ratio

Acceptance effects cancel


Summary and outlook First direct measurement of the

interference fragmentation function Large asymmetries seen, rising

with z and invariant mass No sign change at mass No double ratios make

interpretation simple Submitted to PRL

Significant, nonzero Collins asymmetries, Data used already in Global analysis

Measure precise unpolarized fragmentation functions of many final states Important input for general

QCD physics and helicity structure measurements

Analysis progressing:• PID studies finished • smearing correction finished• Acceptance correction ongoing

New di-hadron fragmentation function analysis started • Information of

favored/disfavored FF• Vector meson FFs

VM Collins analysis started Artru Model test

Continue to measure precise spin dependent fragmentation functions at Belle kT dependence of Collins function, , K Collins, pK, KK IFF

Measure other interesting QCD-related quantities at Belle: Chiral-odd -fragmentation

The Collins effect in the Artru fragmentation model

String breaks anda dd-pair with spin-1 is inserted.

A simple model to illustrate that spin-orbital angular momentum coupling can lead to left right asymmetries in spin-dependent fragmentation:

In Artru Model: favored (ie u) and disfavored (ie u) Collins function naturally of opposite sign

Heavy flavor fragmentation

Rolf Seuster: Phys.Rev.D73:032002,2006, 103 fb-1

Charmed hadron fragmentation much harder than light hadron fragmentation

heavy quark more likely to stay in heavy hadron



opposite hemispheresYields very similar Naturally

dominating at higher z



same hemisphere:Distributions falling

off rapidly Naturally as z1+z2<1

For same hemisphere also interesting:zPair ,mPair distributionCorresponding

resonances’ FF ( , K*, )

Also unpol Baseline for IFF


Higher statistics available at high z

B decays almost at rest no hadrons above 0.5

Instead of about 90 pb-1 almost 1000 fb-1

available

Useful at high z, where statistics is low


Measure Collins effect for e+e-±X

According to Artru model sign change expected wrt. pion Collins:sgn a12(±) = - sgn a12(±±

)Instead of double ratios to

eliminate acceptance/radiative effects use combinatoric BG

Rho Collins – similar plans for ,

Normally:


MC (uds) Rho Collins example


Acceptance effect visible in all three mass ranges

Magnitude similar, but need more statistics to confirm method
