Abstract
Jet handedness as a measure of quark and/or gluon polarizations has been proposed for nearly 30 years. It was demonstrated by measuring the correlation of jet handedness in the electron positron annihilation process. Once parameters are determined, the method could be used to measure quark and/or gluon polarizations in other experiments. The reported data provided evidence for the jet handedness and handedness correlation. However, the jet handedness correlation measured in the electron positron annihilation process from the opposite jets contradicts theoretical prediction by a sign. In order to explain this, we present a chromo-hydrogen-like model in this paper. According to calculations, both jet handedness and handedness correlation depend on not only the polarization of the fragmenting valence quark but also the polarization of the sea quark. It is the appearance of the sea quark polarization that can solve the contradiction. In other words, measurements of jet handedness and handedness correlation can be used to determine the sea quark polarization.
