Nonuniversality of transverse momentum dependent parton distributions at small x.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the universality issue of the transverse momentum dependent parton distributions at small x, by comparing the initial and final state interaction effects in di-jet-correlations in pA collisions with those in deep inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering. We demonstrate the nonuniversality by performing an explicit calculation in a particular model where the multiple gauge boson exchange contributions are summed up to all orders. We comment on the implications of our results on the theoretical interpretation of dihadron correlation in dA collisions in terms of the saturation phenomena in deep inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering.

On the Distribution of Partons in the Transverse Plane
Parton densities are among the most important sources of information on hadron structure at the level of quarks and gluons. The conventional densities describe the distribution of longitudinal momentum and helicity carried by partons in a fast-moving hadron. Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) complement this essentially one-dimensional picture with information on the directions transverse ...
متن کاملFinal state interactions and gauge invariant parton distributions
Parton distributions contain factorizable final state interaction effects originating from the fast-moving jet, produced by the highly virtual probe which strikes the active parton in the hadron, interacting with the target spectators. We show that these interactions lead to gauge-invariant transverse momentum-dependent parton distributions in deeply inelastic scattering. As compared to previou...

Generalized parton distributions describe the distribution of partons in the transverse plane. For transversely polarized quarks and/or nucleons, these impact parameter dependent parton distributions are not axially symmetric. These transverse distortions can be related to spin-orbit correlations as well as to (intuitively) to transverse single-spin asymmetries, allowing novel insights into qua...
متن کاملAngular correlations in multi-jet final states from k⊥-dependent parton showers
We investigate parton-branching methods based on transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) parton distributions and matrix elements for the Monte Carlo simulation of multi-particle final states at high-energy colliders. We observe that recently measured angular correlations in ep final states with multiple hadronic jets probe QCD coherence effects in the space-like branching, associated with finite-a...
متن کاملPolarized parton distributions and non-leading reggeons
The small x behaviour of polarized parton distributions is related to non-leading reggeons in the framework of the high-energy effective action. Double-logarithmic contributions to the reggeon interaction beyond the ones included in the GLAP equation are encountered in all polarized parton distributions. The transversity distributions of quarks and gluons behave similar at small x. 1 Parton dis...
