Physical motivation
Longitudinal polarization of and in DIS is sensitive to:
• s(x), s(x)• polarization of strange quarks s

spin structure• SU(6) quark model: s = 1, u = d = 0
100% polarization to u or d quarks is no influence on polarization of P() - 0 (for u –quarks dominance)
• Burkardt-Jaffe: u = d = -0.23 P() – negative
• B.Q.Ma et al.: u = d =s
P() – positive • Lattice calculations: u = d ~0, s=0.68 P() ~ 0

• Production and is mainly due to fragmentation of target remnant and u,d-quarks
• Spin transfer to and is mainly due to interaction with strange quark and antiquark

Conclusions• Preliminary results on and spin transfer in DIS are
obtained on statistics 70000 and 42000 • DLL() DLL()
• DLL() ~ 0
• DLL() may be as large as 0.4-0.5
• First measurement of the () polarization for different target polarization. No significant dependence is found.
• Comparison with theory:– Spin transfer to is sensitive to s(x)
• Present statistics is only 25% of already accumulated.
More interesting things are coming.

Even if s(x)=s(x),DLL() > DLL() due to difference of the denominator:
Du,d() > Du,d()
Independent quark fragmentation: •DLL() > DLL()•Sensitivity to s(x)Are these conclusions still valid in a more advanced model?DIS-09, Madrid M.Sapozhnikov, JINR
