Adding quark spin effects to PYTHIA string fragmentation
Quark spin effects in hadronization have been recently included in the PYTHIA 8 event generator for the simulation of the deep inelastic scattering (DIS) process off a polarized nucleon target via the external StringSpinner package. The spin effects can be simulated for the production of pseudoscalar mesons using the string+3P0 model of polarized quark fragmentation and parametrizations of the tra
