Transverse spin asymmetries for inclusive $\rho^0$ production in SIDIS at COMPASS

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2021-07-22 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

The production of vector mesons in SIDIS is a particularly interesting channel to study the polarized fragmentation and related phenomena. Preliminary COMPASS results for the first measurement of inclusive ρ0\rho^0 Collins and Sivers transverse-spin asymmetries are presented here for the first time. The analysis is based on the data-set collected by COMPASS in 20102010 using a 160GeV/c160\, \rm{GeV}/c μ+\mu^+ beam and a transversely polarized NH3NH_3 target. The asymmetries are extracted as function of Bjorken-xx, of the total transverse momentum of the oppositely charged hadron pair and of the fraction of available energy zz carried by the pair. Indications for positive Collins and Sivers asymmetries are obtained as expected from models.
