Abstract: (SISSA)
The quark spin effects have been introduced in the Pythia 8 Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of e+ee^+e^- annihilation by interfacing the generator with the StringSpinner package. The package allows to simulate quark spin effects in the string fragmentation routine of Pythia by using the string+3P0{}^3P_0 model, recently applied to the fragmentation of a string stretched between a quark-antiquark pair with correlated spin states.StringSpinner is used to carry out simulations of e+ee^+e^- annihilation at the center of mass energy of 10.6GeV10.6\,\rm{GeV}. The Collins asymmetries are extracted from the simulated data for back-to-back pion pairs using both the thrust axis method and the hadronic plane method. The results are compared with the data from the BELLE and BABAR experiments, finding a satisfactory agreement.
