摘要
A method is discussed to determine the hitherto unknown u-quark transversity distribution deltau(x) from a planned HERMES measurement of a single target-spin asymmetry in semi-inclusive pion electroproduction off a transversely polarized target. Assuming u-quark dominance, the measurement yields the shapes of the transversity distribution deltau(x) and of the ratio H-1(perpendicular to (1)u)(z)/D-1(u)(z), of polarized and unpolarized u-quark fragmentation functions. The unknown relative normalization can be obtained by identifying the transversity distribution With the well-known helicity distribution at large z and small Q(2). The systematic uncertainty of the method is dominated by the assumption of u-quark dominance.
