The role of intrinsic $k_\perp$ in semi-inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) processes ($\ell p \to \ell h X$) is studied within QCD parton model at leading order. The resulting picture is applied to the description of the weighted…
It is shown that, at variance with previous analyses, the MIT bag model can explain the available data of the Sivers function and satisfies the Burkardt Sum Rule to a few percent accuracy. The agreement is similar to the one recently found…
We recently estimated pion+X production via proton collisions with a polarized proton target to enable the Collins fragmentation function to be determined via future experiments. In the present article we first estimate the Silvers…

We develop a formalism to evaluate the Sivers function. The approach is well suited for calculations which use constituent quark models to describe the structure of the nucleon. A non-relativistic reduction of the scheme is performed and…
At present, the Boer-Mulders (BM) functions are extracted from asymmetry data using the simplifying assumption of their proportionality to the Sivers functions for each quark flavour. Here we present two independent tests for this…
