  1. Transversity workshop Trento, 17/06/2004 Theoretical developments piet mulders pjg.mulders@few.vu.nl

  2. Content • Spin structure & transversity • Transverse momenta & azimuthal asymmetries • T-odd phenomena & single spin asymmetries

  3. Collinear hard processes, e.g. DIS • Structure functions (observables) are identified with distribution functions (matrix elements of quark-quark correlators along lightcone) • Longitudinal gluons (A+, not seen in LC gauge) are part of DF’s, rendering them gauge inv. • There are three ‘leading’ DF’s f1q(x) = q(x), g1q(x) = Dq(x), h1q(x) = dq(x) • Transverse gluons appear at 1/Q and are contained in (higher twist) qqG-correlators • DF’s are quark densities that are directly linked to lightcone wave functions squared • Perturbative QCD  evolution (reflecting the large pT-behavior of the correlator proportional to as/pT2 in the pT-integration)

  4. A+ Ellis, Furmanski, Petronzio Efremov, Radyushkin A+ gluons  gauge link Leadingorder DIS • In limit of large Q2 the result of ‘handbag diagram’ survives • … + contributions from A+ gluons ensuring color gauge invariance

  5. Collinear hard processes, e.g. DIS • Structure functions (observables) are identified with distribution functions (matrix elements of quark-quark correlators along lightcone) • Longitudinal gluons (A+, not seen in LC gauge) are part of DF’s, rendering them gauge inv. • There are three ‘leading’ DF’s f1q(x) = q(x), g1q(x) = Dq(x), h1q(x) = dq(x) • Transverse gluons appear at 1/Q and are contained in (higher twist) qqG-correlators • DF’s are quark densities that are directly linked to lightcone wave functions squared • Perturbative QCD  evolution (reflecting the large pT-behavior of the correlator proportional to as/pT2 in the pT-integration)

  6. leading part Parametrization of lightcone correlator • M/P+ parts appear as M/Q terms in s • T-odd part vanishes for distributions • but is important for fragmentation Jaffe & Ji NP B 375 (1992) 527 Jaffe & Ji PRL 71 (1993) 2547

  7. Collinear hard processes, e.g. DIS • Structure functions (observables) are identified with distribution functions (matrix elements of quark-quark correlators along lightcone) • Longitudinal gluons (A+, not seen in LC gauge) are part of DF’s, rendering them gauge inv. • There are three ‘leading’ DF’s f1q(x) = q(x), g1q(x) = Dq(x), h1q(x) = dq(x) • Transverse gluons appear at 1/Q and are contained in (higher twist) qqG-correlators • DF’s are quark densities that are directly linked to lightcone wave functions squared • Perturbative QCD  evolution (reflecting the large pT-behavior of the correlator proportional to as/pT2 in the pT-integration)

  8. Bacchetta, Boglione, Henneman & Mulders PRL 85 (2000) 712 Matrix representationfor M = [F(x)g+]T Related to the helicity formalism Anselmino et al. • Off-diagonal elements (RL or LR) are chiral-odd functions • Chiral-odd soft parts must appear with partner in e.g. SIDIS, DY

  9. Collinear hard processes, e.g. DIS • Structure functions (observables) are identified with distribution functions (matrix elements of quark-quark correlators along lightcone) • Longitudinal gluons (A+, not seen in LC gauge) are part of DF’s, rendering them gauge inv. • There are three ‘leading’ DF’s f1q(x) = q(x), g1q(x) = Dq(x), h1q(x) = dq(x) • Transverse gluons appear at 1/Q and are contained in (higher twist) qqG-correlators • DF’s are quark densities that are directly linked to lightcone wave functions squared • Perturbative QCD  evolution (reflecting the large pT-behavior of the correlator proportional to as/pT2 in the pT-integration)

  10. Non-collinear processes, e.g. SIDIS • Relevant in electroweak processes with two hadrons (SIDIS, DY) • Beyond just extending DIS by tagging quarks … • Transverse momenta of partons become relevant, appearing in azimuthal asymmetries • DF’s and FF’s depend on two variables, F(x,pT) and D(z,kT) • Gauge link structure is process dependent ( []) • pT-dependent distribution functions and (in general) fragmentation functions are not constrained by time-reversal invariance • This allows T-odd functions h1^ and f1T^ (H1^ and D1T^) appearing in single spin asymmetries

  11. Leading order SIDIS • In limit of large Q2 only result of ‘handbag diagram’ survives • Isolating parts encoding soft physics ? ?

  13. Non-collinear processes, e.g. SIDIS • Relevant in electroweak processes with two hadrons (SIDIS, DY) • Beyond just extending DIS by tagging quarks … • Transverse momenta of partons become relevant, appearing in azimuthal asymmetries • DF’s and FF’s depend on two variables, F[](x,pT) and D[](z,kT) • Gauge link structure is process dependent ( []) • pT-dependent distribution functions and (in general) fragmentation functions are not constrained by time-reversal invariance • This allows T-odd functions h1^ and f1T^ (H1^ and D1T^) appearing in single spin asymmetries

  16. Non-collinear processes, e.g. SIDIS • Relevant in electroweak processes with two hadrons (SIDIS, DY) • Beyond just extending DIS by tagging quarks … • Transverse momenta of partons become relevant, appearing in azimuthal asymmetries • DF’s and FF’s depend on two variables, F[](x,pT) and D[](z,kT) • Gauge link structure is process dependent ( []) • pT-dependent distribution functions and (in general) fragmentation functions are not constrained by time-reversal invariance • This allows T-odd functions h1^ and f1T^ (H1^ and D1T^) appearing in single spin asymmetries

  17. Parametrization of F(x,pT) • Link dependence allows also T-odd distribution functions since T U[0,] T = U[0,-] • Functions h1^ and f1T^ (Sivers) nonzero! • These functions (of course) exist as fragmentation functions (no T-symmetry) H1^ (Collins) and D1T^

  18. Interpretation unpolarized quark distribution need pT T-odd helicity or chirality distribution need pT T-odd need pT transverse spin distr. or transversity need pT need pT

  20. pT-dependent DF’stwist structure • For integrated correlator F(x) the (M/P+)t-2 expansion corresponds with definite twist assignments a la OPE • For unintegrated correlators F[](x,pT) the (M/P+)t-2 does not correspond with definite twist assignments; they contain operators of twist  t • Transverse momentsFa(x,pT)   d2pTpTa F(x,pT) project out the parts in F[](x,pT) proportional to pT. They correspond to matrix elements with operators of twist t and t+1 (quark-quark and quark-quark-gluon) • Transverse moments are measured in azimuthal asymmetries with in addition to angular averaging also require an explicit (transverse) momentum • The difference between F[+]a(x) and F[-]a(x) is a gluonic pole matrix element (soft gluon pole), which for distribution functions is T-odd • The socalled Lorentz invariance relations based on general structure of quark-quark correlators need to be augmented because of gauge link • Factorization of explicit pT-dependent functions requires ‘soft factors’ • Universality of subleading functions (appearing at M/P+ level) in F[+]a(x) seems ok, but this seems not the case for subleading functions in F[+]a(x) [so f1T(1) ok but f(1) problematic: in cos fh asymmetry pTaf at order 1/Q gets pQCD correction as f1/|pT|, which shows up as as f1 at order 1]

  25. T-odd phenomena • T-odd phenomena appear in single spin asymmetries • T-odd parts for distribution functions are in the gluonic pole part, hence in F[+]a(x) and F[-]a(x) they have opposite signs • T-odd parts for fragmentation functions in D[+]a(x) and D[-]a(x) are not related. This needs to be considered including QCD corrections, because of the interplay between T-behavior of hadronic states and gauge links • Contributions in other hard processes, such as pp  pX involving three hadrons require a careful analysis
