Sources of time reversal odd spin asymmetries in QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
Generation of T-odd single spin asymmetries (SSA) by the various ingredients of QCD factorization is discussed. The possible use of SSA in studies of Generalized Parton Distribution (GPD) at HERA with the polarized lepton beam is suggested. The role of GPD in the investigation of orbital angular momenta of partons is discussed. The generalization of Equivalence principle, leading to the equipartition of momenta and total angular momenta, violated in perturbation theory, but possibly restored due to confinement and chiral symmetry breaking, is proposed. The T-odd fragmentation and fracture function are considered. The T-odd distribution (Sivers) function may be only effective, due to the imaginary cuts in the SIDIS and Drell-Yan process, while the existence of such universal functions should lead, after the integration over transverse momentum, to the strong T violation in polarized DIS.

Time-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...
متن کاملSingle Hadronic - Spin Asymmetries in Weak Interaction Processes
We show that measurements of single-spin asymmetries (SSAs) in charged current weak interaction processes such as deep inelastic neutrino scattering on a polarized target and inclusive W production in polarized hadron-hadron collisions discriminate between the two fundamental QCD mechanisms (the Sivers and Collins effects) which have been proposed to explain such time-reversal-odd asymmetries. ...

One of the persistent challenges confronting the QCD parton model is the explanation of the significant azimuthal and single spin asymmetries that emerge in inclusive and semi-inclusive processes . Going beyond the collinear approximation in PQCD recent progress has been achieved in characterizing these asymmetries in terms of absorptive scattering . Such asymmetries involve time-reversal-odd (...
متن کاملSingle 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 spin asymmetries from a gluonic background in the Drell-Yan process
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...
