Lin, H. -W.; Melnitchouk, W.; Prokudin, A.; Sato, N.; Shows, H.

We report on the first global QCD analysis of the quark transversity distributions in the nucleon from semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS), using a new Monte Carlo method based on nested sampling and constraints on the isovector tensor charge $$g_T$$ from lattice QCD. A simultaneous fit to the available SIDIS Collins asymmetry data is compatible with $$g_T$$ values extracted from a comprehensive reanalysis of existing lattice simulations, in contrast to previous analyses, which found significantly smaller $$g_T$$ values. The contributions to the nucleon tensor charge from $$u$$ and $$d$$ quarks are found to be $$\delta u = 0.3(2)$$ and $$\delta d = -0.7(2)$$ at a scale $Q^2 = 2$ GeV$^2$.
