Abstract

We use the Boer-Mulders functions parameterized from unpolarized p+Dp+D Drell-Yan data by the FNAL E866/NuSea Collaboration combined with recently extracted Collins functions to calculate the cos2ϕ\cos 2 \phi 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 cos2ϕ\cos 2 \phi asymmetries of SIDIS in the kinematical regime of HERMES Collaboration, and the forthcoming JLab experiments. We predict that the cos2ϕ\cos 2 \phi asymmetries of semi-inclusive π\pi^- production are somewhat larger than that of π+\pi^+ 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.
