Abstract

An explicit pionic component of the nucleon may be identified by measuring polarized Δ++ fragments produced in deep-inelastic scattering off polarized protons. The pion-exchange model predicts highly correlated polarizations of the Δ++ and target proton, in marked contrast with the competing diquark fragmentation process.
