Collins effect in quark fragmentation J.C. Collins, Nucl. Phys. B396, 161(1993) q Collins Effect: Fragmentationof a quark qwith spin sqinto a spinless hadron h carries an azimuthal dependence: Spin dependent fragmentation functions at BELLE
The Collins Effect in the Artru Fragmentation Model A simple model to illustrate that spin-orbital angular momentum coupling can lead to left right asymmetries in spin-dependent fragmentation: π+ picks up L=1 to compensate for the pair S=1 and is emitted to the right. String breaks and a dd-pair with spin -1 is inserted. Spin dependent fragmentation functions at BELLE
Motivation: Global Transversity Analysisdq(x) SIDIS experiments (HERMES and COMPASS) measure dq(x) together with either Collins Fragmentation function or Interference Fragmentation function There are always 2 unknown functions involved which cannot be measured independently RHIC measures the same combinations of quark Distribution (DF) and Fragmentation Functions (FF) plus unpolarized DF q(x) Universality appears to be proven in LO by Collins and Metz: [PRL93:(2004)252001 ] The Spin dependent Fragmentation function analysis yields information on the Collins and the Interference Fragmentation function !

Methods to eliminate gluon contributions: Double ratios and subtractions Double ratio method: Pros: Acceptance cancels out Cons: Works only if effects are small (both gluon radiation and signal) Pros: Gluon radiation cancels out exactly Cons: Acceptance effects remain Subtraction method: 2 methods give very small difference in the result Spin dependent fragmentation functions at BELLE
Other Favored/Unfavored Combinations charged pairs Improvement: current double ratios not very sensitive to favored to disfavored Collins function ratio Examine other combinations: • Unlike-sign pion pairs (UL): (favored x favored + unfavored x unfavored) • Like-sign pion pairs (L): (favored x unfavored + unfavored x favored) • p±p0 pairs (favored + unfavored) x (favored + unfavored) • P.Schweitzer([hep-ph/0603054]): charged pp pairs are similar (and easier to handle) (C): (favored + unfavored) x (favored + unfavored) UL/L UL/C • Build new double ratios: • Unlike-sign/ charged pp pairs (UL/C) Favored = up+,dp-,cc. Unfavored = dp+,up-,cc. Spin dependent fragmentation functions at BELLE
Testing the double ratios with MC • Asymmetries do cancel out for MC • Double ratios of p+p+/p-p- compatible with zero • Mixed events also show zero result • Asymmetry reconstruction works well for t MC (weak decays) • Single hemisphere analysis yields zero Double ratios are safe to use • uds MC (UL/L double ratios) • uds MC (UL/C double ratios) • Data (p+p+/p-p-) Spin dependent fragmentation functions at BELLE

Belle is well suited for FF measurements: • Good detector performance (acceptance, momentum resolution, pid) • Jet production from light quarks off-resonance (60 MeV below resonance) (~10% of all data) • Intermediate Energy Sufficiently high scale (Q2 ~ 110 GeV2) - can apply pQCD Not too high energy (Q2 << MZ2) -avoids additional complication from Z interference • Sensitivity = A2sqrt(N)~ x19 (60) compared to LEP ABelle / ALEP ~ x2 (A scales as ln Q2) LBelle / LLEP~x23 (230) Spin dependent fragmentation functions at BELLE

What is the transverse momentum QT of the virtual photon? Ph1 Lepton-CMS • In the lepton CMS frame e-=-e+ and the virtual photon is only time-like: qm=(e-m+p+m)=(Q,0,0,0) • Radiative (=significant BG) effects are theoretically best described in the hadron CMS frame where Ph1+Ph2=0 qm’=(q’0,q’) • Inclusive Cross section for radiative events (acc. to D.Boer): Ph2 e- e+ q’ Hadron-CMS e+’ e-’ P’h1 P’h2 qT Spin dependent fragmentation functions at BELLE
Raw asymmetries vs QT Q j0 • QT describes transverse momentum of virtual photon in pp CMS system • Significant nonzero Asymmetries visible in MC (w/o Collins) • Acceptance, radiative and momentum correlation effects similar for like and unlike sign pairs j2 Q • uds MC (pp) Unlike sign pairs • uds MC (pp) Like sign pairs j1 Spin dependent fragmentation functions at BELLE
Experimental issues • Cos2f moments have two contributions: • Collins Can be isolated either by subtraction or double ratio method • Radiative effects Cancels exactly in subtraction method, and in LO of double ratios • Beam Polarization zero?Cos(2fLab) asymmetries for jets or gg • False asymmetries from weak decays Study effect in t decays, constrain through D tagging • False asymmetries from misidentified hemispheres QT or polar angle cut • False asymmetries from acceptance Cancels in double ratios, can be estimated in charge ratios, fiducial cuts • Decaying particles lower z cut Spin dependent fragmentation functions at BELLE
Systematics: charm contribution? • Weak (parity violating) decays could also create asymmetries (seen in ttppnn, overall t dilution 5%) • Especially low dilution in combined z-bins with large pion asymmetry • Double ratios from charm MC compatible to zero • Charm decays cannot explain large double ratios seen in the data Charm enhanced D* Data sample used to calculate and correct the charm contribution to the double ratios (see hep-ex/0507063 for details) Charm fraction N(charm)/N(all) Spin dependent fragmentation functions at BELLE
