Phenomenological Extraction of Transversity from COMPASS SIDIS and Belle e+e- Data

The valence transversity distributions of the u- and the d-quarks have been extracted point-by-point from single-hadron production and dihadron production data measured in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and in e+e annihilation. The extraction is based on some simple assumptions and does not require any parametrization. The transversity distributions are found to be compatible with each other and with previous analyses
