STUDYING TRANSVERSE MOMENTUM DEPENDENT DISTRIBUTIONS IN POLARIZED PROTON COLLISIONS VIA AZIMUTHAL SINGLE SPIN ASYMMETRIES OF CHARGED PIONS IN JETS

A complete, fundamental understanding of the proton must include knowledge of the underlying spin structure. The transversity distribution, h1(x), which describes the transverse spin structure of quarks inside of a transversely polarized proton, is only accessible through channels that couple h1(x)...
