abstract

StringSpinner is a plugin for the introduction of the spin effects in the hadronization part of the PYTHIA 8 event generator. The spin effects are generated for pseudoscalar meson production by propagating the quark polarization along the fragmentation chain according to the rules of the quantum mechanical string+${}^3P_0$ model. By using parametrizations for the transversity parton distribution functions, StringSpinner allows to simulate the polarized semi inclusive deep inelastic scattering process on protons and neutrons. The instructions to use StringSpinner and to modify the parametrizations of the transversity distribution functions are presented, as well as an example of the calculation of the Collins asymmetries as obtained from simulations of the transversely polarized semi inclusive deep inelastic scattering process.

  1. Transverse Charge Distribution as a Probe of Nucleon Transversity

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A charge-flow measurement built only from track angles and charge signs contains a leading-twist chiral-odd dipole that matches the charge-weighted Collins moment, giving enhanced transversity-sensitive asymmetries.

    By adding 5D0 diquark tunneling and baryon couplings to the string+3P0 model, the authors derive baryon splitting functions and predict quark-spin-dependent transverse effects whose signs are controlled by a new compl...
