Abstract

We present some estimates of T-odd fragmentation and distribution functions, H1H_1^\perp and f1Tf_{1T}^{\perp}, evaluated on the basis of a fit on experimental data in p^\uparrowp. Assuming the T-odd fragmentation function to be responsible for the single spin asymmetry in pion production in p^\uparrowp, we find the ratio H1/D1H_1^{\perp}/D_1 to be in good agreement with the experimental results from DELPHI data on Z -> 2jetdecay.Weuseourestimatestomakepredictionsforep-jet decay. We use our estimates to make predictions for ep^\uparrow$.
