Single-spin asymmetries for pions and charged kaons are measured in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering of positrons and electrons off a transversely nuclear-polarized hydrogen target. The dependence of the cross section on the azimuthal angles of the target polarization ([phi]S) and the produced hadron ([phi]) is found to have a substantial sin([phi]+[phi]S) modulation for the production of [pi]+, [pi]- and K+. This Fourier component can be interpreted in terms of non-zero transversity distribution functions and non-zero favored and disfavored Collins fragmentation functions with opposite sign. For [pi]0 and K- production the amplitude of this Fourier component is consistent with zero
With the full data sample of 772 × 10 6 BB pairs recorded by the Belle detector at the KEKB electronpositron collider, the decayB → D Ã τ −ν τ is studied with the hadronic τ decays τ − → π − ν τ and τ − → ρ − ν τ . The τ polarization P τ ðD Ã Þ in two-body hadronic τ decays is measured, as well as the ratio of the branching fractions
Multiplicities in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering are presented for each charge state of pi(+/-) and K-+/- mesons. The data were collected by the HERMES experiment at the HERA storage ring using 27.6 GeV electron and positron beams incident on a hydrogen or deuterium gas target. The results are presented as a function of the kinematic quantities x(B), Q(2), z, and P-h perpendicular to. They represent a unique data set for identified hadrons that will significantly enhance our understanding of the fragmentation of quarks into final-state hadrons in deep-inelastic scattering.
