Factorization and Universality in Azimuthal Asymmetries
نویسنده
چکیده
The theoretical status on transverse momentum dependent factorization in semiinclusive DIS and Drell-Yan is not clear in contrast to claims in the literature in which gauge links only at one loop were considered explicitly. Recent obtained results beyond this order questions the validity of these claims and will be briefly discussed. Possible input from experiments to solve these matters will be outlined.

Universality of T-odd effects in single spin and azimuthal asymmetries
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...
متن کاملTime-reversal-odd phenomena in QCD
Single-spin asymmetries were long thought to vanish in high-energy scattering processes because of their specific time-reversal behavior. Time-reversal-odd phenomena, however, appear naturally when one includes effects of intrinsic transverse momenta of partons. The partons, quarks and gluons, enter the description of high-energy scattering processes in correlators which contain quark and gluon...

Successful realization of polarized Drell-Yan physics program is one of the main goals of the second stage of the COMPASS experiment. Drell-Yan measurements with high energy (190 GeV/c) pion beam and transversely polarized NH3 target have been initiated by a pilot-run in the October 2014 and will be followed by 140 days of data taking in 2015. In the past twelve years COMPASS experiment perform...
متن کاملGeneral Helicity Formalism for Single and Double Spin Asymmetries in Pp → Π + X *
We consider within a generalized QCD factorization approach, the high energy inclusive polarized process pp → π + X, including all intrinsic partonic motions. Several new spin and k⊥-dependent soft functions appear and contribute to cross sections and spin asymmetries. We present here formal expressions for transverse single spin asymmetries and double longitudinal ones. The transverse single s...
متن کاملNon-universality of transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions
In the field theoretical description of hadronic scattering processes, single transverse-spin asymmetries arise due to gluon initial and final state interactions. These interactions lead to process dependent Wilson lines in the operator definitions of transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions. In particular for hadron–hadron scattering processes with hadronic final states this...
