On the beam spin asymmetries of electroproduction of charged hadrons off the nucleon targets

Abstract

We study the beam single-spin asymmetries $A_{LU}^{\sin {\varphi }_h}$ for charged hadrons produced in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering process, by considering the $e{H}_1^{\perp }$ term and the $g^{\perp }{D}_1$ term simultaneously. Besides the asymmetries for charged pions, for the first time we present the analysis on the asymmetries in the production of charged kaons, protons and antiprotons by longitudinally polarized leptons scattered off unpolarized proton and deuteron targets. In our calculation we use two sets of transverse momentum dependent distributions $g^{\perp }(x,{\mathbf{k}}_T^2)$ and $e(x,{\mathbf{k}}_T^2)$ calculated from two different spectator models, and compare the numerical results with the preliminary data recently obtained by the HERMES Collaboration. We also predict the beam spin asymmetries for ${\pi }^{\pm }$, $K^{\pm }$, $p/\bar{p}$ electroproduction in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering of 12 GeV polarized electrons from unpolarized proton and deuteron targets.
