Flavor Dependence of T-odd PDFs

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-08-21 v1

Abstract

The flavor dependence of the naive time reversal odd (``T-odd'') parton distributions for uu- and dd-quarks are explored in the spectator model. The flavor dependence of h1h_{1}^{\perp} is of significance for the analysis of the azimuthal cos(2ϕ)\cos(2\phi) 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 h1Lh_{1L}^{\perp} which enables us to present a prediction for the single spin asymmetry AULsin(2ϕ)A_{UL}^{\sin(2\phi)} for a longitudinally polarized target in SIDIS.
