Chiral-Odd and Spin-Dependent Quark Fragmentation Functions and their Applications

Abstract

We define a number of quark fragmentation functions for spin-0, -1/2 and -1 hadrons, and classify them according to their twist, spin and chirality. As an example of their applications, we use them to analyze semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering on a transversely polarized nucleon.
