Neutron Transversity at Jefferson Lab
• Introduction• SIDIS measurements at JLab• JLab Hall-A neutron transversity experiment• Other transverse spin experiments• Other planned SIDIS experiments• Summary
• Some characteristics of transversity:– δq(x) = Δq(x) for non-relativistic quarks– δq and gluons do not mix → Q2-evolution for δq and Δq are different– Chiral-odd → not accessible in inclusive DIS
• It takes two chiral-odd objects to measure transversity– Semi-inclusive DIS
Chiral-odd distributions function (transversity)
Chiral-odd fragmentation function (Collins function)

Leading-Twist Quark Distributions
No K┴ dependence
K┴ - dependent, T-odd

Simultaneous fit to sin( + s) and sin( - s)
`Collins‘ moments
• Non-zero Collins asymmetry
• Assume q(x) from model, then
H1_unfav ~ -H1_fav
• Need independent H1 (BELLE)
`Sivers‘ moments
•Sivers function nonzero (+) orbital angular momentum of quarks
•Regular flagmentation functions

Collins asymmetry from COMPASS
COMPASS 2002-2004 data: ~ factor of 12 in statistics
hep-ex/0503002
• Transversely polarized 6LiD target
• Cover smaller x
• Consistent with 0
8
Current Status
• Collins Asymmetries - sizable for proton
large at high x large for -
- consistent with 0 for deuteron - cancellation between p and n?
• Sivers Asymmetries - non-zero for p+ from proton - consistent with zero all other channels.
• Fit by Anselmino et al. and other groups
• Data on neutron at high x complementary and very helpful

SIDIS at JLab
• Extensive SIDIS program with 12 GeV upgrade• Starting with 6 GeV running with optimized
kinematics• High luminosity compensates low rate at larger
scattering angle to reach large Q2
• Comparable Q2 range as HERMES• Access high x region• Factorization? experimental tests.
14
Preliminary results of factorization test from JLab for semi-inclusive pion production
Data are well described by calculations assuming
factorization
Similar z-dependence for different x-bins
Hall-C E00-108 CLAS 5.7GeV data
Recent theory work on SIDIS factorization (hep-ph0404183)

JLab Hall-A E03-004 Experiment
• High luminosity (1036 s-1)– 15 μA electron beam on 10-atm 40-cm 3He target
• Measure neutron transversity– Sensitive to δd, complementary to HERMES
• Disentangle Collins/Sivers effects
• Probe other K┴-dependent distribution functions

Other planned experiments and outlook
• Approved SIDIS proposal in Hall B (H. Avakian)
• A new proposal with polarized 3He (n) for spin-flavor decomposition.
• Other measurements under consideration.
• SIDIS with JLab 12 GeV upgrade:
Transversity
Transverse momentum dependent parton distributions
Spin-flavor decomposition
Sea asymmetry

Summary• With high luminosity and moderate energy,
factorization seems reasonable for JLab SIDIS.
• JLab experiment E03-004 will measure neutron SSA using transversely polarized 3He target.
Experimental preparation underway data taking in fall 2007.• Other transverse spin experiments.
• Other SIDIS experiments at JLab and 12 GeV.
