Abstract

We present a calculation of the twist-3 T-odd chiral-even fragmentation functions GG^{\perp} and G~\tilde{G}^{\perp} using a spectator model. We consider the effect gluon exchange to calculate all necessary one-loop diagrams for the quark-quark and quark-gluon-quark correlation functions. We find that the gluon loops corrections generate non-zero contribution to these two fragmentation function. We numerically calculate their half-kTk_T moments by integrating over the transverse momentum and also verify the equation of motion relation among GG^{\perp}, G~\tilde{G}^{\perp} and the Collins function.
