Description

The pretzelosity distribution function h1Tperpendicular is studied in a covariant quark-parton model which describes the structure of the nucleon in terms of 3D quark intrinsic motion. This relativistic model framework supports the relation between helicity, transversity and pretzelosity observed in other relativistic models without assuming SU(6) spin-flavor symmetry. Numerical results and predictions for SIDIS experiments are presented.
