$\cos 2 \phi$ asymmetries in unpolarized semi-inclusive DIS
Abstract
We use the Boer-Mulders functions parameterized from unpolarized Drell-Yan data by the FNAL E866/NuSea Collaboration combined with recently extracted Collins functions to calculate the asymmetries in unpolarized semi-inclusive deeply inelastic scattering (SIDIS) processes both for ZEUS at Hadron Electron Ring Accelerator (HERA) and Jefferson Lab experiments (JLab), and to compare our results with their data. We also give predictions for the asymmetries of SIDIS in the kinematical regime of HERMES Collaboration, and the forthcoming JLab experiments. We predict that the asymmetries of semi-inclusive production are somewhat larger than that of production. We suggest to measure these two processes separately, which will provide more detail information on the Boer-Mulders functions as well as on the Collins functions.
