Nuclear Physics Seminar

"First Measurement of the Collins Fragmentation Function at Belle"

Presented by Ralf Seidl, University of Illinois

Tuesday, May 30, 2006, 11:00 am — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

The Collins effect connects transverse quark spin with a
measurable azimuthal dependence in the yield of hadronic fragments around the quark's momentum vector. Using two different reconstruction methods we find evidence of statistically significant azimuthal asymmetries for charged pion pairs in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at a center-of-mass energy of 10.52 GeV, which can be attributed to a transverse polarization of the primordial quarks.
The measurement was performed using a sample of 79 million hadronic events collected with the Belle detector.
