Single spin asymmetries in inclusive hadron production from SIDIS to hadronic collisions: universality and phenomenology
arXiv:0712.4240 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.77.051502
Abstract
In a perturbative QCD approach, with inclusion of spin and transverse momentum effects, experimental data on azimuthal asymmetries observed in polarized semi-inclusive deeply inelastic scattering and e+ e- annihilations can be used to determine the Sivers, transversity and Collins soft functions. By using these functions, within the same scheme, we predict p(transv. polarized) p -> h + X single spin asymmetries in remarkable agreement with RHIC experimental data.
