By assuming that there is no significant intrinsic polarization of the gluon, we have computed the polarized quark contributions to the proton's spin under SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking for the polarized sea and have performed a global…
The transversity distribution was recently extracted from deep-inelastic scattering processes producing hadron pairs in the final state. Together with a specific chiral-odd di-hadron fragmentation function, it is involved in the elementary…
