Azimuthal angle dependence of di-jet production in unpolarized hadron scattering
Abstract
We study the azimuthal angular dependence of back-to-back di-jet production in unpolarized hadron scattering , arising from the product of two Boer-Mulders functions, which describe the transverse spin distribution of quarks inside an unpolarized hadron. We find that when the di-jet is of two identical quarks () or a quark-antiquark pair (), there is a angular dependence of the di-jet, with , and and are the azimuthal angles of the two individual jets. In the case of production, we find that there is a color factor enhancement in the gluonic cross-section, compared with the result from the standard generalized parton model. We estimate the asymmetry of di-jet production at RHIC, showing that the color factor enhancement in the angular dependent of production will reverse the sign of the asymmetry.
