Measurement of azimuthal hadron asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering off unpolarised nucleons
Adolph C, Akhunzyanov R, Alexeev MG, et al. Measurement of azimuthal hadron asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering off unpolarised nucleons. Nuclear Physics B. 2014;886:1046-1077.Spin-averaged asymmetries in the azimuthal distributions of positive and negative hadrons produced in deep inelastic scattering were measured using the CERN SPS muon beam at GeV/c and a LiD target. The amplitudes of the three azimuthal modulations , and were obtained binning the data separately in each of the relevant kinematic variables , or and binning in a three-dimensional grid of these three variables. The amplitudes of the and modulations show strong kinematic dependencies both for positive and negative hadrons
