Monte Carlo results on the Collins asymmetries in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation

The quark spin effects have been introduced in the Pythia 8 Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ 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+${}^3{P}_0$ 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 $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation at the center of mass energy of $10.6\mathrm{G}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}$. 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.
