Predictions for double spin asymmetry A_{LT} in Semi Inclusive DIS
In the leading order of QCD parton model of Semi Inclusive Deep Inelastic
Scattering (SIDIS) the double spin asymmetry arises due to the
longitudinal polarization of quarks in the transversely polarized nucleon. The
corresponding weighted distribution function can be
related to ordinary helicity distribution measured in DIS. Using
recent parameterizations for (un)polarized distribution and fragmentation
functions we calculated asymmetry on transversely polarized proton and
deuteron targets for different types hadron production. The predictions are
given for COMPASS, HERMES and JLab energies. The role of Lorentz invariance
relations and positivity constraints are discussed.Comment: The new conventional definition of asymmetry is adopted -- the factor
two is added. The figures are rescaled by factor tw
