Sivers effect in single spin asymmetry based on the covariant parton model

Abstract

Sivers effect is describing the correlation between the transverse polarization of nucleon and the transverse momentum, [Formula: see text], of its unpolarized constituent partons. This effect is an outstanding subject and in this regard, a great deal in recent years has been considered from experimental and phenomenological points of view. It also plays an essential role to extend our understanding from nucleon structure. Semi-inclusive DIS (SIDIS) process provides us an opportunity to access to Sivers function which is dependent on transverse momentum of partons. In this paper, for the first time the covariant parton model is used to deliver us the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] dependence part of Sivers function. Based on this model, this combinatory dependence is arising out from the HERAPDF parametrization group. In this paper the other required parametrized functions in Sivers function is also changed with respect to Ref. 1. The unknown parameters which exist in Sivers function can be extracted, doing a global fit over the recent available experimental data, including HERMES, COMPASS and JLAB collaborations for the single spin asymmetry (SSA) in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] meson production as well as kaon production to constrain the evolved strange quark. This is done, considering advanced mathematical manipulations to overcome the difficulties which exist to compute the required multiple integrals and finally employing the CERN MINIUTE program to do a global fit. Our results for SSA are in good agreement with the available experimental data. For more confirmation a comparison between our results and the ones from Ref. 2 is also done.
