Measuring transverse spin correlations 4-particle correlations in e(sup +)e(sup -) yields 2 jets

摘要

The azimuthal distribution of pairs of particles in a jet is sensitive to the transverse polarization of the quark initiating the jet, but with a sensitivity that involves a nonperturbative analyzing power. We show in detail how to measure the analyzing power from 4-hadron correlations in e(sup +) e(sup -) yields 2 jets. We explain the combination of particle flavor that are likely to give the biggest effect. (authors). 19 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab. (Atomindex citation 27:023654)
