Abstract Azimuthal distributions of hadrons (mainly π + and π − ) produced in DIS off transversely polarized targets (proton and deuteron) are studied for the first time in SMC. From these azimuthal distributions, transverse single-spin asymmetries are derived. According to Collins (‘Collins effect’), the azimuthal distribution of the leading hadron might exhibit an symmetry which originates from the transverse polarization of the final quark.
