Comment on ``Interference Fragmentation Functions and Valence Quark Spin Distributions in the Nucleon''

Abstract

The original version of this paper commented on a paper by Jaffe, Jin, and Tang (hep-ph/9710561). That paper has been revised, and my original comment no longer applies to the revised version. The original version of my comment (hep-ph/9801217v1) provides a simple argument that two-particle correlations in parity-invariant fragmentation cannot provide a measurement of the helicity of the fragmenting quark.
