Twist-four distributions in a transversely polarized nucleon and the Drell-Yan process.
The twist-four quark and gluon distributions in a transversely polarized nucleon are identified and relations among them are discussed by using QCD equations of motion.

متن کاملTransverse spin effects and higher twist in the singlet channel
The effects, originating from the longitudinal gluon polarization, are considered. We derive the analogue of the Wandzura-Wilczek relation for the light-cone distributions of polarized gluons in a transversely polarized nucleon. The short distance cross-section is entirely due to the intrinsic transverse momenta of gluon in the nucleon, in complete analogy to the quark case. Numerical estimate ...
متن کاملA positivity bound for the longitudinal gluon distribution in a nucleon
The distribution of longitudinal gluons in a nucleon, introduced earlier by Gorsky and Ioffe, is estimated from below by making use of the positivity of density matrix and the analogue of the WandzuraWilczek relation for the light-cone distributions of polarized gluons in a transversely polarized nucleon. It is now well known that the spin properties of gluons and quarks are fairly different. I...
متن کاملFragmentation of Transversely Polarized Quarks Probed in Transverse Momentum Distributions
It is shown that the azimuthal dependence of the distribution of hadrons in a quark jet is a probe of the transverse spin of the quark initiating the jet. This results in a new spin-dependent fragmentation function that acts at the twist-2 level. One example of a process where it contributes is semi-inclusive deeply inelastic scattering with a transversely polarized nucleon target but with an u...
متن کاملResummation in Transversely Polarized Drell - Yan Process
Hard processes with polarized nucleon beams enable us to study spin-dependent dynamics of QCD and the spin structure of nucleon. The helicity distribution ∆q(x) of quarks within nucleon has been measured in polarized DIS experiments, and ∆G(x) of gluons has also been estimated from the scaling violations of them. On the other hand, the transversity distribution δq(x), i.e. the distribution of t...
