Book Description
We report the first measurement of the double-spin asymmetry ALT for charged pion electroproduction in semi-inclusive deep inelastic electron scattering on a transversely polarized 3He target. The kinematics focused on the valence quark region, 0.16 x 0.35 with 1.4 Qsup2/sup 2.7 GeVsup2/sup. The corresponding neutron AsubLT/sub asymmetries were extracted from the measured sup3/supHe asymmetries and proton/sup3/supHe cross section ratios using the effective polarization approximation. These new data probe the transverse momentum dependent parton distribution function gsub 1T/subsupq/sup and therefore provide access to quark spin-orbit correlations. Our results indicate a positive azimuthal asymmetry for?sup-
