Transversity and intrinsic motion of the constituents
arXiv:hep-ph/0405225 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.70.054018
Abstract
The probabilistic model of parton distributions, previously developed by one of the authors, is generalized to include the transversity distribution. When interference effects are attributed to quark level only, the intrinsic quark motion produces the transversity, which is about twice as large as the usual polarized distribution. The applicability of such a picture is considered and possible corrections, accounting for interference effects at the parton-hadron transition stage are discussed.
