Abstract

Within the LO QCD parton model of SIDIS with unintegrated quark distribution and fragmentation functions we study the transverse momentum and azimuthal dependencies of the double spin asymmetries ALTA_{LT} and ALLA_{LL}. For later we include O(k/Q){\cal O}(k_{\perp}/Q) kinematic corrections, which induce an azimuthal modulation of the asymmetry, analogous to the Cahn effect in unpolarized SIDIS. We show that a study of these asymmetries allows to extract the transverse momentum dependence of the unintegrated helicity distribution function g1Lq(x,k)g_{1L}^q(x,k_\perp) and g1Tq(x,k)g_{1T}^q(x,k_\perp). This report is based on research published in [1] and [2], where predictions are given for ongoing COMPASS, HERMES and JLab experiments.
