Abstract

The measurement of the so far unknown chiral-odd quark transverse spin distribution in either semi-inclusive DIS(SIDIS) or inclusive measurements in pp collisions at RHIC has an additional chiral-odd fragmentation function appearing in the cross section. This chiral-odd fragmentation functions (FF) can for example be the so-called Collins FF or the Interference FF. HERMES has given a first hint that these FFs are nonzero, however in order to measure transversity one needs these FFs to be precisely known. At the Belle e +e- collider at the KEK-B factory a data set of 29.0 fb-1 has been used to obtain the Collins function.
