Novel Quark Fragmentation Functions and the Nucleon's Transversity Distribution

TL;DR

Using this formalism, it is shown how the nucleon’s transversity distribution can be measured in single pion inclusive electroproduction.

Abstract

We define twist-two and twist-three quark fragmentation functions in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and study their physical implications. Using this formalism we show how the nucleon's transversity distribution can be measured in single pion inclusive electroproduction.
