Abstract

Spin asymmetries provide a wide range of insights into nucleon structure and hadronization. Recent measurements of beam spin asymmetries of π+π\pi^+\pi^- dihadrons from Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) at CLAS12 provide the first empirical evidence of a nonzero G1G_1^\perp, the parton helicity-dependent Dihadron Fragmentation Function (DiFF) encoding spin-momentum correlations in hadronization. These measurements have been extended to aid in the characterization of H1H_1^\perp and H1H_1^\sphericalangle, the DiFFs dependent on parton transverse spin, via a multidimensional partial wave analysis, giving access to the dependence on the interference of dihadrons of particular polarizations. Reconstruction of π0\pi^0s allows for further extension of these measurements to π+π0\pi^+\pi^0 and ππ0\pi^-\pi^0 dihadrons. The DiFFs describing π+π\pi^+\pi^- production differ from those describing π+π0\pi^+\pi^0 and ππ0\pi^-\pi^0 production, which involve different quark flavors along with a strong suppression of the exclusive diffractive contribution. This presentation will focus on beam spin asymmetries for π+π0\pi^+\pi^0 dihadrons, compared to those from π+π\pi^+\pi^- dihadrons, which will help shed light on a more comprehensive picture of dihadron fragmentation.
