We predict the features of the Collins function, which describes the fragmentation of a transversely polarized quark into an unpolarized hadron, by modeling the fragmentation process at a low energy scale. We use the chiral invariant approach of Manohar and Georgi, where constituent quarks and Goldstone bosons are considered as effective degrees of freedom in the non-perturbative regime of QCD. To test the approach we calculate the unpolarized fragmentation function and the transverse momentum distribution of a produced hadron, both of which are described reasonably well. In the case of semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering, our estimate of the Collins function in connection with the transversity distribution gives rise to a transverse single spin asymmetry of the order of 10%, supporting the idea of measuring the transversity distribution of the nucleon in this way. In the case of e+ e- annihilation into two hadrons, our model predicts a Collins azimuthal asymmetry of about 5%.

Single spin asymmetry $A _ { U L } ^ { \sin ( 3 \phi _ { h } - \phi_{ R } ) }$ in dihadron production in SIDIS
A one-loop spectator-model calculation of the previously uncalculated T-odd dihadron fragmentation function predicts a near-zero sin(3phi_h-phi_R) asymmetry at COMPASS and HERMES, matching the weak observed signal.
