----------- Outline ------------

o Motivation Collins FF for global QCD analysis of single transverse asymmetries in pp and SIDIS

o Collins Asymmetries from e+e- LEP first work on Delphi data in the 90s: Bonivento, Matteuzzi, Kotzinian, (DELPHI note,1995), Efremov, Smirnova, Tkachev (Nucl. Phys. Proc. Suppl. 74,

1999) Experimental technique Results

o Future Plans• Spin dependent observables• Precision measurement of spin averaged

hadron fragmentation functions

o Very basic QCD process: Fundamental test case for any approach to solve QCD at soft scales.

o Tests of universality and factorization between e+e-, DIS and p-p collisions

o Symmetry properties

o Evolution is fundamental QCD prediction

o Connection between microscopic and macroscopic observables:

Probe/analyzer for transverse quark spin critical input for transverse proton spin program at DESY, CERN, JLab and RHIC

Why is the Collins Fragmentation Function Interesting?

• Like-sign pion pairs (L):(favored x unfavored + unfavored x favored)

• ± pairs(favored + unfavored) x (favored + unfavored)

• A. Efremov et al. ([hep-ph/0603054]): charged pairs are similar (and easier to handle) (C):(favored + unfavored) x (favored + unfavored)

Consistency Checks for Double Ratio

(0) Check that Monte Carlo Double asymmetries are 0.(1) Calibrate with “known” physics asymmetry: Weak decays produce azimuthal asymmetries. Showed that double ratio method give correct asymmetry for tau-sample.(2) Comparison of Double Ratio with Subtraction Method leads to identical results.(3) Observe polar angle dependence

(4) Smaller asymmetry for lower thrust sample

(5) Null tests:

(a) mixed events give 0 asymmetry (b) single side asymmetries average to 0

Collins Asymmetries III: QT Binning (UL)

• Reduced asymmetries in low thrust sample

• At low thrust significant B contribution(for t<0.8 ~20 % B for t>0.8 < 1 % B)

• A12 thrust axis dependent

• High QT (>3.5 GeV) asymmetries from beam related BG

• UC plots similarThrust>0.8Thrust<0.8 (not corrected for heavy quark contributions)
