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

We present a diagrammatic approach for the dimer-dimer scattering problem in two or three spatial dimensions, within the resonance approximation where these dimers are in a weakly bound resonant state. This approach is first applied to the calculation of the dimer-dimer scattering length a B in three spatial dimensions, for dimers made of two fermions in a spin-singlet state, with corresponding scattering length a F , and the already known result a B = 0.60 a F is recovered exactly. Then we make use of our approach to obtain results in two spatial dimensions for fermions as well as for bosons. Specifically, we calculate bound-state energies for three bbb and four bbbb resonantly interacting bosons in two dimensions. We consider also the case of a resonant interaction between fermions and bosons, and we obtain the exact bound-state energies of two bosons plus one fermion bbf, two bosons plus two fermions bf ↑ bf ↓ , and three bosons plus one fermion bbbf.
