The transversity distribution function, , encapsulates the transverse spin structure of the proton at the leading twist, where represents the longitudinal momentum fraction carried by the quark . The extraction of poses a formidable challenge due to its chiral-odd nature. Measurements of final-state di-hadron pairs in transversely polarized proton-proton () collisions directly probe the collinear quark transversity via coupling with a chiral-odd interference fragmentation function, . This coupling results in an experimentally measurable azimuthal correlation asymmetry, . The asymmetry originates from the interplay between the spin orientation of the fragmenting quark and the resulting di-hadron in the final state. Thus, it necessitates precise knowledge of unpolarized di-hadron fragmentation functions (FFs) to achieve a model-independent extraction of the transversity from these measurements. These FFs can be obtained by measuring the unpolarized di-hadron cross section in collisions. We will present preliminary results on the for pairs using data collected by the STAR experiment at a center-of-mass energy of GeV in 2015. Additionally, we will present preliminary results of the unpolarized cross section using data at GeV collected in 2012.
