Constrained fit of the valence transversity distributions from dihadron production

We present a constrained analysis of the valence transversity distributions from dihadron production in semi-inclusive DIS. While usual extractions of the transversity distributions rely explicitly on the fulfillment of positivity bounds, the present analysis releases that implicit restriction to implement further explicit constraints through the Lagrange multipliers method. The results are quantitatively comparable to previous analyses; the qualitative impact of the chosen fitting strategy translates into an increased flexibility in the functional form.
