Dr Jean-Pierre DIDELEZ (IPN CNRS/IN2P3 & Université Paris-Sud (UMR-CNRS 8608), 91406 ORSAY, France)Application of Nuclear Polarization Techniques to Other FieldsPosterThe parallel polarization of D and T nuclei should increase the reactivity of the fuel used, both in Magnetic Confinement Fusion (MCF) and Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF). One has to make sure however, i) that the polarization will survive at high temperature in the MCF and ICF very different plasma conditions, ii) that high polarization rate for useable quantities of material can be...Go to contribution page

Mr Kenta Yabe (Niigata University)3D Structure of the Nucleon: TMDsParallel SessionsWe discuss the contribution of the twist-3 fragmentation function to the production of transversely polarized hyperons in unpolarized proton-proton collisions. In the framework of the collinear factorization, this contribution arise from the quark fragmentation correlators corresponding to the twist-3 quark fragmentation functions(FFs) and especially from the gluon fragmentation correlators...Go to contribution page
