Dihadron production at JLab Sergio Anefalos Pereira (INFN - Frascati)

Physics Motivation Describe the complex nucleon structure in terms of partonic degrees of freedom of QCD ● measuring transverse momentum of final state hadrons in SIDIS gives access to the transverse momentum distributions (TMDs) of partons ● p T dependent spin asymmetries measurements give us access to different TMDs, providing information on how quarks are confined in hadrons ● azimuthal distributions of final-state particles in SIDIS, in particular, are sensitive to the orbital motion of quarks and play an important role in the study of TMD parton distribution functions of quarks in the nucleon. ● the goal of looking at dihadron SIDIS is have a full picture of the collinear structure of proton. 2

+ Higher Twist distribution functions In addition to pions, at 12 GeV we'll be able to detect also kaons with  /k separation in the 3-8 GeV/c range. Leading Twist What we measure at 6 GeV and 12 Jlab with dihadrons 4

The dihadron channel have some disadvantages (more complex kinematics, new angles, unknown but measurable DiFFs appear) but it also brings a very useful advantage: in single hadron production, the observables are convolution of TMDs in double hadron production, observables are product of TMDs Dihadron vs. single-hadron SIDIS 5

The first comprise hadrons produced in the forward hemisphere (along the virtual photon) and the latest, in the backward hemisphere In these analysis we select events in the CFR 6

Flavor separation at JLab the asymmetry for a neutron target (for the specific case of the π+π− final state) can be written as: the equivalent equation for the proton is combining these two asymmetries (on neutron and proton targets) the u v and the d v flavors could be extracted separately. 31
