G/G from measured asymmetryAlNlhhX LP QCD-C PGF taken from inclusive DIS measurements the asymmetry for hard sub-process Provided by MonteCarlo R the fraction of events Idea proposed by R.D.Carlitz, J.C.Collins and A.H.Mueller, Phys.Lett.B 214, 229 (1988) ……..and many more
Beam: µ+ 190 GeV , Pµ = -0.78 ± 0.03 Targets: butanol,ammonia –proton ,d-butanol - deuteron Measured asymmetry: beam, target
Data sample selection: • Full SMC statistics with longitudinal target polarization was used in thisanalysis • Q21GeV2 , 0.4 y0.9 • µµ ‘ and at least 2 hadrons at primary vertex • for both hadrons : • - xF0.1, z0.1 reject target fragmentation region • - pT0.7GeV • After these selections data sample consisted of: • 80 k interactions on target with pol. protons and 70 k with deuterons • -additional selections toincrease PGF contribution – input from MC • finally selected about 1% of the inclusive sample

Data and Monte Carlo comparison Hadron variables: Sensitive to smearing and MCgeneration (ff) Event kinematics: Sensitive to trigger mixture, smearing Data MC Data and Monte Carlo agree at the level of 10-25% To be used for selections of PGF and ∆G evaluation
Contribution of PGF process For SMC experimental conditions Lepto at generation level: RPGF = 8% events with two hadrons (phad>5GeV): RPGF = 12% additionally pThad > 0.7 GeV: RPGF = 24% How to get more? Two methods tried: • kinematical selections (cuts) • Neural Network classification(NN)
Neural network Architecture: multi-layer feed-forward configuration • input layer: event kinematics (x, y, Q2) and hadron variables • (E1,2, pT1,2, charge, azimuthal angle between pT of two selected hadrons), • best way to use correlations • trained on simulated sample to select wanted category • of events (here PGF)
The criteria to judge the selection: Cuts on hadron variables: Several variables tried, Opposite chargesof hadrons – small effect, 1/3 events lost Azimuthal anglebetween hadrons – no improvement Best - ∑p2T
