“…The transversity distribution, originally introduced by Ralston and Soper [1] (see also [2,3,4]), and now customarily called h 1 , measures the polarization asymmetry of quarks (or antiquarks) in a transversely polarized hadron. More explicitly, h 1 (x) is the number density of quarks polarized in a transverse direction +n with a given longitudinal momentum fraction x minus the number density of quarks polarized in the opposite direction −n, when the hadron's spin points in the direction +n, i.e.…”
