Transversity and Transverse Spin in Nucleon Structure through SIDIS at Jefferson Lab
Abstract
The JLab 12 GeV upgrade with a proposed solenoid detector and the CLAS12 detector can provide the granularity and three-dimensional kinematic coverage in longitudinal and transverse momentum, , with to precisely measure the leading twist chiral-odd and -odd quark distribution and fragmentation functions in SIDIS. The large experimental reach of these detectors with a 12 GeV CEBAF at JLab makes it {\em ideal} to obtain precise data on the {\em valence-dominated} transversity distribution function and to access the tensor charge.
