IntroductionIntroduction
Presented results are based on the covariant QPM, in which quarks are considered as quasifree fermions on mass shell. Intrinsic quark motion, reflecting orbital momenta, is consistently taken into account. [for details see P.Z. Phys.Rev.D65, 054040(2002) and D67, 014019(2003)].
Recently, this model was generalized to include the transversity distribution [A.Efremov, O.Teryaev and P.Z., Phys.Rev.D70, 054018(2004)].
In this talk, obtained results on the transversity will be applied to obtain prediction on double spin asymmetry in lepton pair production for conditions of the PAX experiment.

Transversity First, remind our
procedure for g1, g2 :
Transversity may be related to auxiliary polarized process described by interference of axial vector and scalar currents. (see G.R. Goldstein, R.L. Jaffe and X.D. Ji, Phys. Rev. D 52, 5006 (1995); B.L. Ioffe and A. Khodjamirian, Phys. Rev. D 51, 3373 (1995)). We try to use simplest form of such vector, giving:

Comment Actually, in the present model, in which all spin functions
are generated by the SU(6) valence quarks only, the transversity can be expressed in compact form as
where the SU(6) factors are represented by

Statistical errors How many events one needs for discriminating
among the curves? If
then
which means roughly
So for one needs at least 104 events in given subsample (bin, interval).
ConclusionConclusion
Covariant version of QPM involving intrinsic (orbital) motion was applied for calculating transversity distributions.
Two ways for estimation of transversity were suggested: Interference on quark level only (V & S currents) Interference effects on quark-hadron transition stage
included Obtained distributions were used as an input for
calculating the double spin asymmetry of lepton pair production in conditions of the PAX experiment.
Our results on asymmetry are roughly similar to those from another authors.

Lesson of QMLesson of QM Forget structure functions for a while and calculate another task. Remember, that angular momentum consists of j=l+s. In relativistic case l,s are not conserved separately, only j is conserved. So, we
can have pure states of j (j2,jz) only, which are represented by relativistic spherical waves:
