Transversly Polarized Proton-Proton Collisions and the Collins Fragmentation Function

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-08-16 v4

Abstract

The Sivers Function is briefly reviewed and the Collins Fragmentation Function to produce a hadron from a polarized quark is defined. We estimate π+,π\pi^{+},\pi^{-} +X production, where X represents particles which are not detected, via proton collisions with a polarized proton target using the Collins Fragmentation Function derived using the gluon distribution functions for polarized p-p collisions at E=s\sqrt{s}=200 GeV.
