The Boer-Mulders Function: Models and Universality

Abstract

The sign of the Boer-Mulders function $h_1^{\perp }$ is related to the sign of the GPD ${\bar{E}}_T$ through the mechanism of chromodynamic lensing. Model calculations of the sign of ${\bar{E}}_T$ indicate that the sign of $h_1^{\perp }$ may be the same in all ground state hadrons.
