Sivers Function
• Left-right asymmetric quark distribution in a transversely polarized
nucleon
• Related to the angular momentum of quarks Lq
• Final state interactions (FSI) can lead to non-zero asymmetries
(Brodsky, Hwang, Schmidt, 2002)
• Imaginary part of interference
Lq=0 ✖ Lq=1 quark wave functions.
• Gauge invariance of QCD requires Sivers
function to flip sign between semi-inclusive
DIS and Drell-Yan:

Summary
 “Neutron Transversity” experiment (E06-010) completed.
 First measurement of Collins and Sivers moments (AUT) on 3He
 AUT results on neutron:
 Collins: π+ are π- asymmetries consistent with zero except at x ~ 0.34 for π+
 Sivers: π- is consistent with zero; however, π+ favor negative values
 Results to be submitted to PRL very soon
 First indication of a non-zero ALT: 3He→π-, +2.8σ ALT (sum all bins)
 Preliminary Kaon± Sivers and Collins moments are also available
 The neutron results combined with existing proton and deuteron data
will aid in constraining the d-quark sivers function
 JLab-12 GeV: Precision SSA measurements in SIDIS will be one
of the highlights as discussed in X. Qian’s thesis prize
presentation.
