abstract
We introduce twist-two quark interference fragmentation functions in helicity density matrix formalism and study their physical implications. We show how the nucleon's transversity distribution can be probed through the final state interaction between two mesons ($\pi^+\pi^-$, $K\bar K$, or $\pi K$) produced in the current fragmentation region in deep inelastic scattering on a transversely polarized nucleon.

A new approach using near-side energy-energy correlators in dihadron fragmentation enables extraction of nucleon transversity PDF in collinear factorization without modeling intrinsic transverse momentum or dihadron resonances.
Proposal for a new observable—dihadron azimuthal asymmetry in unpolarized SIDIS at EIC—that isolates linear dependence on light-quark dipole couplings via SM-dipole interference.
Numerical predictions for transverse-spin dependent energy-energy correlators in polarized pp collisions agree with recent STAR data and show a slight preference for transversity extractions consistent with lattice QCD.
StringSpinner 2.0 implements propagation of spin correlations from a user-defined joint q qbar density matrix in PYTHIA for e+e- to hadrons, demonstrated via Collins asymmetry calculations for back-to-back pions.
Pseudo-data from CLAS12, SoLID, and ePIC experiments are incorporated into the JAMDiFF analysis to forecast reduced uncertainties on transversity PDFs at intermediate-to-large x from JLab and across all x from EIC, plus tensor charge comparisons to lattice QCD.
The EIC Yellow Report specifies the science goals, required detector capabilities, and technology concepts needed to realize a high-luminosity electron-ion collider program.
