2 Introduction Why do we care about transverse (spin) structure? Obvious for Gary (decades ago).

3 Nucleon Structure and QCD
Colors are confined in hadronic system Hadron: ideal lab to study QCD Nucleon = u u d + sea + gluons Mass, charge, magnetic moment, spin, axial charge, tensor charge Decomposition of each of the fundamental quantities Mass: ~1 GeV, but u/d quark mass only a few MeV each! Momentum: quarks carry ~ 50% Spin: ½, quarks contribute ~30% Spin Sum Rule Orbital Angular Momentum Relations to GPDs and TMDs Tensor charge Transverse sum rule(?) Quarks and gluon field are in-separable Multi-parton correlations are important Beyond co-linear factorization Transverse dimension is crucial for understanding nucleon structure and QCD, help understanding confinement

4 Four Decades of Nucleon Structure Study
1970s: SLAC DIS  Bjorken Scaling, discovery of partons (quarks) 4 decades study on unpolarized structure, 5 orders in x range and Q2 Global analyses to extract unpolarized PDFs 1980s: ‘spin crisis’, quark spin contribution to proton spin is very small 3 decades study on longitudinally polarized structure: 3 orders in x and 2 in Q2 DS ~ 30%; DG small Orbital angular momentum important, definition?

13 Transversity and TMDs What have we learned?

14 Transversity and TMDs Momentum distributions: q(x,Q2) = q↑(x) + q↓(x)
Three twist-2 quark distributions: Momentum distributions: q(x,Q2) = q↑(x) + q↓(x) Longitudinal spin distributions: Δq(x,Q2) = q↑(x) - q↓(x) Transversity distributions: δq(x,Q2) = q┴(x) - q┬(x) It takes two chiral-odd objects to measure transversity Semi-inclusive DIS Chiral-odd distributions function (transversity) Chiral-odd fragmentation function (Collins function) TMDs: (without integrating over PT) Distribution functions depends on x, k┴ and Q2 : δq, f1T┴ (x,k┴ ,Q2), … Fragmentation functions depends on z, p┴ and Q2 : D, H1(x,p┴ ,Q2) Measured asymmetries depends on x, z, P┴ and Q2 : Collins, Sivers, … (k┴, p┴ and P┴ are related)
