3 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)3 Spin structure functions 3 distribution functions are necessary to describe the spin structure of the nucleon at LO: All of equal importance !  T q(x)  q(x) q(x)

4 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)4 Measuring Δ T q(x) How to access it: SIDIS (e.g. COMPASS and HERMES ) Hard scattering (e.g. RHIC) –Drell-Yan –Single Spin Asym (e.g. p ↑ p→πX) Hard scattering (e.g. GSI) –Drell-Yan Chiral-odd: requires another chiral-odd partner Impossible in DISDirect Measurement ppl+l-Xppl+l-Xep   e’h  X Convolution with fragmentation function ep   e’X

5 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)5 Transversity In the last ten years: Great development in the theory of transversity; Remarkable role of Δ T q(x), notably complementary to Δq(x). In the last couple of years: Role of the k T structure functions clarified (Cahn and Sivers effects, …). Tensor charge (1991 – 1992): in analogy with: Soffer inequality (1995): Leader sum rule (2004): in analogy with: Key features of transversity: -Probes relativistic nature of quarks -No gluon analog for spin-1/2 nucleon -Different Q 2 evolution and sum rule than Δq(x) -Sensitive to valence quark polarization

6 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)6 ) Transverse Spin Physics at COMPASS Possible quark polarimeters suggested using SIDIS: Azimuthal distribution of single (leading) hadrons Azimuthal dependence of the plane containing hadron pairs Measurement of transverse polarization of spin ½ baryons (e.g.  hyperon) Published RESULTS 2005 Preliminary RESULTS 2005 Not covered in this talk

7 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)7 Azimuthal asym’s of single hadrons Collins effect predicts an azimuthal asymmetry in the quark fragmentation; Look at leading hadron (the most sensitive to the parent struck quark); The larger z = E h /, the stronger the signal; An azimuthal asymmetry can also come from the un-polarised quarks; namely from an azimuthal modulation of quark transverse momentum for a transversely polarized nucleon (Sivers effect) LeftRight Non vanish L q The quark prefers to fragment in one direction

8 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)8 Collins and Sivers asym’s Asym’s in  C and  S extracted independently; Asym’s calculated as function of x, z and p t and for “Leading Hadrons” and for “All Hadrons” Collins angle: Sivers angle:

9 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)9 Azimuthal dependence of the plane containing hadron pairs Another quark polarimeter comes from interference in fragmentation The struck quark fragments in two hadrons. The fragmentation function has a component dependent on the transverse spin momentum (as for the Collins function): The hadron pair prefers to fragment in one direction A LeftRight A

19 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)19 Evaluation of systematics Stability of the asymmetries: i) in time; ii) in two halves of the target cells; iii) according to the hadron momentum. Evaluated 3 different estimators and compatibility in the results checked. Look at the paper: “First Measurement of the Transverse Spin Asymmetries of the Deuteron in Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering” (The COMPASS Collaboration) Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 202002 (2005)

20 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)20 Collins and Sivers effects (1) Systematic errors are smaller than the quoted statistical errors. Asymmetries as a function of x, z, p t Only statistical errors shown Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 202002 (2005)

21 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)21 Collins and Sivers effects (2) Systematic errors are smaller than the quoted statistical errors. Asymmetries as a function of x, z, p t Only statistical errors shown Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 202002 (2005)

22 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)22 Interpretation of Collins SSA Small asymmetries. Two explanations: – Cancellation between proton and neutron; – Too small Collins mechanism. If and large as from preliminary measurement by BELLE (see hep-ex/0507063), this is evidence for cancellation in iso-scalar target; Also a new phenomenological fit of the data by Vogelsang and Yuan (see hep-ph/0507266).

23 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)23 COMPASS (deut.) vs. HERMES (protons) Positive hadrons HERMES: –Negative Collins asymmetries; –Positive Sivers asymmetries. HERMES data points for Collins effect flipped by a phase of π to match COMPASS notation ! HERMES data points from: A. Airapetian et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 (2005) 012002[DC53] (hep-ex/0408013)

24 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)24 COMPASS (deut.) vs. HERMES (protons) Negative hadrons HERMES: –Large Positive Collins asymmetries; –No Sivers effect. HERMES data points for Collins effect flipped by a phase of π to match COMPASS notation ! HERMES data points from: A. Airapetian et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 (2005) 012002[DC53] (hep-ex/0408013)

25 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)25 Theoretical work on Sivers SSA “Extracting the Sivers function from polarized SIDIS data and making predictions” –Phenomelogical model whose parameters are constrained by HERMES proton measurements; – COMPASS 2002 preliminary results for Sivers effect are in agreement with the model. M. Anselmino et al. hep-ph/057181 (including HERMES Prel. Results shown at DIS05)

27 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)27 Expected accuracy for Collins asymmetries A Coll statistical errrors: Positive hadrons (to the left): 2002 - Red; 2002 – 2004 Blue; 2006 Blue. Negative hadrons (to the right): 2002 - Red; 2002 – 2004 Blue; 2006 Blue. Accuracy from total statistics accumulated with LiD (deuteron) target; Projections from 30 days of data taking (included in COMPASS schedule for 2006) with NH 3 (proton) target : Taking into account: –Variation of statistical errors: –taking into account the variation of:

33 Prague (CZ), August 1stPaolo Pagano (INFN - Trieste)33 Summary and Outlook Collins and Sivers SSA shown from 2002 data published by PRL: –The asymmetries are small and compatible with zero; –Making use of all the deuteron data, accuracy will improve by a factor ~ 3. SSA from hadron pairs calculated from 2002 + 2003 statistics: –The asymmetries are small and compatible with zero; –Using 2004 data, accuracy improves by a factor 1.4. Stay tuned because: –New channels in hadron pair production are under study. –PID is being included in all the analyses; –New results on Lambda transverse polarization are coming. Data (of comparable statistics) will be collected on a transversely polarized proton target (NH 3 ) in 2006.
