Flavor Dependence of T-odd PDFs
Abstract
The flavor dependence of the naive time reversal odd (``T-odd'') parton distributions for - and -quarks are explored in the spectator model. The flavor dependence of is of significance for the analysis of the azimuthal asymmetries in unpolarized SIDIS and DY-processes, as well as for the overall physical understanding of the distribution of transversely polarized quarks in unpolarized nucleons. As a by-product of the formalism, we calculate the chiral-odd but ``T-even'' function which enables us to present a prediction for the single spin asymmetry for a longitudinally polarized target in SIDIS.
