  1. Prospects in neutron transverse spin study with a polarized 3He Target at 12 GeV JLab ( A Third Joint meeting of Division of Nuclear Physics of American Physical Society and the Japanese Physical Society Oct 13-17, 2009 Waikaloa, Hawaii Haiyan Gao (高海燕) Duke University/TUNL Durham, NC, U.S.A.

  2. Outline Introduction First experiment at 6 GeV in Hall A @ JLab (Xiaodong Jiang) Transversity with 12 GeV at JLab Summary

  3. QCD Nucleon Structure Strong interaction, running coupling ~1 -- QCD: the theory of strong interaction -- asymptotic freedom (2004 Nobel) pQCD works at high energy -- interaction significant at intermediate energy quark-gluon correlations -- confinement interaction strong at low energy coherent hadron -- Chiral symmetry -- theoretical tools: pQCD, OPE, Lattice QCD, ChPT • Charge and magnetism (current) distribution • Nucleon: Electric GE and magnetic GM form factor • Spin distribution • Quark momentum and flavor distribution • Polarizabilities • Strangeness content • ….. E

  4. Leading-Twist Quark Distributions ( Eight parton distributions functions) non-vanishing integrating over Transversity: K - dependent, T-even K - dependent, T-odd

  5. Transversity • Three twist-2 quark distributions: • Momentum distributions: q(x,Q2) = q↑(x) + q↓(x) • Longitudinal spin distributions: Δq(x,Q2) = q↑(x) - q↓(x) • Transversity distributions: δq(x,Q2) = q┴(x) - q┬(x) • Some characteristics of transversity: • δq(x) = Δq(x) for non-relativistic quarks • δq and gluons do not mix → Q2-evolution simpler • Chiral-odd → not accessible in inclusive DIS • Rapidly developing field, worldwide efforts: BNL, Belle at KEK, CERN, DESY, JLab, FAIR project at GSI, … • It takes two chiral-odd objects to measure transversity
