abstract

We discuss in detail the option to access the transversity distribution function $h_1(x)$ by utilizing the analyzing power of interference fragmentation functions in two-pion production inside the same current jet. The transverse polarization of the fragmenting quark is related to the transverse component of the relative momentum of the hadron pair via a new azimuthal angle. As a specific example, we spell out thoroughly the way to extract $h_1(x)$ from a measured single spin asymmetry in two-pion inclusive lepton-nucleon scattering. To estimate the sizes of observable effects we employ a spectator model for the fragmentation functions. The resulting asymmetry of our example is discussed as arising in different scenarios for the transversity.

  1. Single spin asymmetry $A _ { U L } ^ { \sin ( 3 \phi _ { h } - \phi_{ R } ) }$ in dihadron production in SIDIS

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A one-loop spectator-model calculation of the previously uncalculated T-odd dihadron fragmentation function predicts a near-zero sin(3phi_h-phi_R) asymmetry at COMPASS and HERMES, matching the weak observed signal.

  2. QCD factorization with multihadron fragmentation functions

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The standard operator definition of fragmentation functions is shown to follow from collinear factorization for small-mass n-hadron final states, contrary to a recently proposed modified definition.

  3. Transverse-spin dependent energy-energy correlators in proton-proton collisions within the dihadron fragmentation framework

    hep-ph 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Numerical predictions for transverse-spin dependent energy-energy correlators in polarized pp collisions agree with recent STAR data and show a slight preference for transversity extractions consistent with lattice QCD.

  4. Helicity correlation of neighboring dihadron

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The helicity correlation of two neighboring hadrons is driven by QCD evolution from the longitudinal spin-transfer function, offering a new unpolarized-collision observable for spin physics.
