We discuss in detail the option to access the transversity distribution function $h_1(x)$ by utilizing the analyzing power of interference fragmentation functions in two-pion production inside the same current jet. The transverse…
Data on the nucleon spin structure suggests that the $u$ (and $d$) quark distributions in the $\Lambda$ hyperon may be polarized. If this correlation carries over into fragmentation, then the study of polarized $\Lambda$'s in the current…

The transversity parton distribution remains a poorly known cornerstone in the nucleon spin structure. While the Collins effect in spin asymmetries in Semi-Inclusive DIS (SIDIS) is one crucial tool to address the transversity function, the…
We propose an inequality between the longitudinally polarized density and the transversity of a quark in a nucleon. This inequality, whose validity is limited to very small scales, is based on considerations about Lorentz transformations…
