Single-spin Asymmetries and Qiu-sterman Effect(s) *
نویسنده
چکیده
I discuss the relation between the Qiu-Sterman effects on one hand and the Collins, Sivers and Boer-Mulders effects on the other hand. It was suggested before that some of these effects are in fact the same, thus providing interesting connections between transverse-momentum dependent twist-2 functions and collinear twist-3 functions. Here I propose an alternative way to reach similar conclusions.

Single spin asymmetries in the Drell - Yan process 1
We discuss single transverse spin asymmetries in the Drell-Yan process originating from so-called gluonic poles in twist-three hadronic matrix elements, as first considered by Qiu and Sterman. Even though time-reversal invariance is not broken, the effects of such poles cannot be distinguished from those of time-reversal odd distribution functions. We show the connection between gluonic poles a...
متن کاملSingle Transverse-Spin Asymmetries in Hadronic Pion Production
We analyze single transverse-spin asymmetries for hadronic pion production at large transverse momenta using QCD factorization. In the large xF region, leading contributions to the asymmetries are naturally produced by twist-3 parton correlation functions that couple quark fields and gluon field strengths. With a simple model for these matrix elements, leading-order asymmetries calculated from ...

We discuss the effects of so-called gluonic poles in twist-three hadronic matrix elements, as first considered by Qiu and Sterman, in the Drell-Yan process. These effects cannot be distinguished from those of timereversal odd distribution functions, although time-reversal invariance is not broken by the presence of gluonic poles. Both gluonic poles and time-reversal odd distribution functions c...

We analyze the transverse-momentum-dependent distribution and fragmentation functions in space-like and time-like hard processes involving at least two hadrons, in particular, 1-particle inclusive leptoproduction, the Drell–Yan process and two-particle inclusive hadron production in electron–positron annihilation. As is well known, transverse momentum dependence allows for the appearance of uns...

We calculated the single spin asymmetries for the reaction P + P (↑) → l l + X in the framework of twist-3 QCD for HERA energies. The necessary imaginary phase is produced by the on-shell contribution of the quark propagator, while the long distance part is analogous to that providing the direct photon asymmetry calculated by J. Qiu and G. Sterman. The asymmetry turns out to be generally of the...
