Perturbative contribution to the sin(phi) asymmetry in inclusive pi^{+} electroproduction

preprint2000arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider the sin(phi) single target-spin asymmetry in deep-inelastic pi^{+} inclusive electroproduction off a longitudinally polarized target. We show that at larger transverse momentum of the outgoing hadron the evaluated asymmetry decreases if one takes into account the first order alpha_S perturbative contribution to the cross section, integrated over the azimuthal angle. This leads to good agreement with recent HERMES data.
