  2. Transverse Spin Physics • Motivation • Spin dependence of QCD cross sections • Extract transversity distributions from QCD analysis: SIDIS + pp + e+e- • Sivers function measurements • Orbital angular momentum? • Transverse Spin Measurements • pp fixed target • SIDIS • Polarized pp collider • Future (RHIC II, PAX) • Summary Transverse Spin

  3. Motivation: What is the structure of matter in the Universe? First ideas by Greek philosophers: for example Leukipp and Demokrit (~ 450-400 bc) formulated the atomic hypothesis: There are small particles, atoms, of which all matter is made and which cannot be divided in smaller parts Transverse Spin

  4. Some 2400 years later Richard Feynman: If, in some cataclysm, all scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis (or atomic fact, or whatever you wish to call it) that all things are made of atoms - little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence you will see an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied. (The Feynman Lectures on Physics) Transverse Spin

  5. Example I: Hydrogen as Fundamental Bound State of the EM-Interaction  QED pioneers QFT! Lamb Doppler free saturation spectroscopy hydrogen atom Quantum Electro Dynamics Lamb shift Tomonaga, Feynman, Schwinger Transverse Spin

  6. Our Example: The Nucleon as Fundamental Bound State of the Strong Nuclear Force Polarized DIS, pp Nucleon Quantum Chromo Dynamics Proton Structure Fundamental QCD tests Transverse Spin

  7. Modern experimental tools make quantitative studies of the atomic hypothesis possible!

  8. Spin Dependence of QCD Cross Sections: Longitudinal Spin aLL Gluon Compton: q+g  q+gamma Cross section for anti-parallel quark and gluon spin Annihilation: q+q  q +gamma Transverse Spin

  9. Measuring ΔG: We exploit aLL at RHIC… Knowledge of the aLL (from theory!) is absolutely critical before we can learn anything about proton spin structure at RHIC  should be fine, we know that pQCD works at sufficiently high energy scales. It surely will get the spin dependence of cross sections right! the unknown we would like to extract! measured at RHIC known from deep inelastic lepton-proton scattering experiments  “DIS” perturbative QCD (pQCD) ? Transverse Spin

  10. Cross Sections for Transverse Spin QCD: Asymmetries for transverse spin are small at high energies (Kane, Pumplin, Repko, PRL 41, 1689–1692 (1978) ) Experiment (E704, Fermi National Laboratory): π+ QCD Test ! π0 π- Is QCD the correct theory of the strong interaction? Transverse Spin

  11. Inspect Factorized Expression for Cross Section fragmentation process Proton Structure Can initial and/or final state effects generate large trans-verse spin asymmetries? (ALL ~10-1) Hard Scattering Process Jet e+e- pQCD Proton Structure small spin dependence (aLL~10-4) Transverse Spin

  12. Transverse Spin in QCD: Two Solutions (I) Transversity quark-distributions and Collins fragmentation Correlation between proton- und quark-spin and spin dependent fragmentation π+ π0 π- (II) Sivers quarkdistribution Correlation between proton-spin and transverse quark momentum Transverse Spin

  13. Collins Effect in the Quark- fragmentation into the Final State NL- NR AN= = 0 NL+ NR π sq sq q q π NL : pions to the left Collins Effect NR : pions to the right Simple process: Fundamental test case for QCD at low energies (Dennis Sivers) Transverse Spin

  14. Artru Model for Collins Fragmentation A simple model to illustrate that spin-orbital angular momentum coupling can lead to left right asymmetries in spin-dependent fragmentation: String breaks and a dd-pair with spin 1 is inserted. Proton spin is pointing up! L = -1 π+ picks up L=-1 to compensate for the pair S=1 and is emitted to the right. u-quark absorbs photon/gluon and flips it’s Spin. Transverse Spin

  15. Sivers Effect (Initial State) Sivers Effect: kT distribution of the quarks depends on the transverse spin direction of the protons Sp Sivers vunction: proton D. Sivers 1990 proton Sp J. Collins, 1993 : Sivers function is forbidden by symmetry properties (T-odd) Brodsky, Hwang and Schmidt 2002: Sivers function can arise from interference with diagrams with soft final state gluon exchange. Transverse Spin

  16. Sivers: Connection to Orbital Angular Momentum? M. Burkardt xqis blue/red shifted! Transverse Spin

  17. Sivers Effect: Final State Interaction • Final state soft gluons ? • What happens to factorization and universality ?? Transverse Spin

  18. Transversity, Sivers and Boer Mulders Transversity : correlation between transverse proton spin and quark spin Sivers : correlation between transverse proton spin and quark transverse momentum Boer/Mulders: correlation between transverse quark spin and quark transverse momentum Sp– Sq – coupling ? Sp-- Lq– coupling ??? Sq-- Lq– coupling ?? ? Transverse Spin

Transverse Spin

  20. Helicity Amplitudes in Hard Scattering Forward Scattering Amplitude initial state final state hard probe: gluon, photon Quark, hi Quark, hf proton, Hf proton, Hi Hi hi Hf hf Helicity is conserved helicity average helicity difference helicity flip transversity quark distributions h: quark helicity H: proton helicity In initial and final state Transverse Spin

  21. Quark Distributions quark distrb. helicity amplitudes structure functions: Helicity flip! Probability to probe a quark of flavor i and momentum fraction x that contributes to the spin of a transversely polarized proton proton spin q probe spectators Transverse Spin

  22. Observation Helicity flip amplitude  no gluon transversity  pure quark observable avoid complicated coupling between gluon- and quark degrees of freedom we observe for longitudinal polarization: Lattice results suggest that the transverse quark spin sum is large.
