Transversity and heavy quark production on hadron colliders

The azimuthal asymmetry of heavy quarks production on double polarized proton–proton and proton–antiproton colliders are studied in this work at next-to-leading order in α s , with some details included. The purpose is to see whether the effect of extracted transversity distribution functions can be...

Summary:The azimuthal asymmetry of heavy quarks production on double polarized proton–proton and proton–antiproton colliders are studied in this work at next-to-leading order in α s , with some details included. The purpose is to see whether the effect of extracted transversity distribution functions can be seen on present and near future colliders. All analytic one-loop hard coefficients are given. Numerical results for the asymmetry on proton–(anti)proton colliders are presented.
