Large SSA continues at DIS epLarge SSA continues at DIS epand collider pp experiments!!and collider pp experiments!!

12

Why Does SSA Exist? Single Spin Asymmetry requires

Helicity flip: one must have a reaction mechanism for the hadron to change its helicity (in a cut diagram)

A phase difference: the phase difference is needed because the structure S ·(p × k) violate the naïve time-reversal invariance

13

Naïve parton model fails If the underlying scattering mechanism is

hard, the naïve parton model generates a very small SSA: (G. Kane et al, 1978),

It is in general suppressed by αSmq/Q

We have to go beyond this naïve picture

same Collins fun.

04/10/23 HALL A Meeting 2007 22

Universality preserved

Key observations

Final state interactions DO NOT provide a phase for a nonzero SSA

Eikonal propagators DO NOT contribute to a pole

Ward identity is applicable to warrant the universality arguments

04/10/23 HALL A Meeting 2007 23

Collins from HERMES Large, positive asymmetries:

no surprise from u-quark dominance

Large, negative asymmetries:first a surprise, now understood by large, negative disfavored Collins function

25

Collins from COMPASS

Smaller asymmetries than in proton case

Sivers effect is different

It is the final state interaction providing the phase to a nonzero SSA

Ward identity is not easy to apply Non-universality in general Only in special case, we have “Special Universality”

A unified picture for SSA In DIS and Drell-Yan processes, SSA depends on

Q and transverse-momentum P

At large P, SSA is dominated by twist-3 correlation effects

At moderate P, SSA is dominated by the transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution/fragmentation functions

The two mechanisms at intermediate P generate the same physics! Ji-Qiu-Vogelsang-Yuan,Phys.Rev.Lett.97:082002,2006

Summary

We are in the early stages of a very exciting era of transverse spin physics studies, where the future JLAB, RHIC, and EIC experiments will certainly play very important roles

We will learn more about QCD dynamics and nucleon structure from these studies, especially for the quark orbital motion

43

What can we learn from SSA

Quark Orbital Angular Momentum

e.g, Sivers function ~ the wave function amplitude with nonzero orbital angular momentum!

Vanishes if quarks only in s-state!Ji-Ma-Yuan, NPB03Brodsky-Yuan, PRD06

44

Take Drell-Yan as an example(with non-zero transverse momentum q?) We need a loop to generate a phase

Some comments

It’s difficult to explain this pattern in the current theoretical approaches Fragmentation (Collins effect) contributions?

One possible reason could be the partial cancellation between the favored and disfavored contribution to Pi^0 production Check with the charged pions?

48

Recent theoretical developments(twist-three) Complete formalism for single

inclusive hadron production in pp collision has been derived, including the derivative and non-derivative terms
