3 Motivation for studying spin asymmetries D. Pitonyak  Extract PDFs and FFs through experiment  Rich internal (spin) structure of hadrons Study correlations between hadron spin and parton spins and orbital motion  Explore pQCD (collinear factorization, TMD factorization, resummation, etc.) What do these observables tell us about perturbative and non- perturbative QCD dynamics?

4 Single-spin asymmetries D. Pitonyak  Collinear twist-3 factorization Large transverse SSAs observed in the mid-1970s in the detection of Lambdas from proton-beryllium collisions (Bunce, et al. (1976)) Initially thought to contradict pQCD (Kane, Pumplin, Repko (1978)) : Higher-twist approach to calculating transverse SSAs in pp collisions introduced in the 1980s (Efremov and Teryaev (1982, 1985)) Benchmark calculations performed starting in the early 1990s (Qiu and Sterman (1992, 1999); Kouvaris, et al. (2006); Koike and Tomita (2009), etc.) In general, for AB  C X :

5 D. Pitonyak  A UT in (see, e.g., Zhou, et al. (2010))

6 D. Pitonyak Lightcone gauge Graph (c) gives a twist-4 contribution

7 D. Pitonyak Relations between F-type and D-type functions (see, e.g., Eguchi, et al. (2006)) g T can be related to D-type functions through the EOM (see, e.g., Efremov and Teryaev (1985); Jaffe and Ji (1992)) : There are 3 independent collinear twist-3 functions relevant for a transversely polarized nucleon

8 D. Pitonyak For A UT in, only F FT and G FT are relevant on the distribution side: -T-odd effect need to generate an imaginary part soft-gluon pole (SGP) or soft-fermion pole (SFP) propagator goes on-shell

9 D. Pitonyak SGP term (Qiu and Sterman (1999), Kouvaris, et al. (2006)) : SFP term (Koike and Tomita (2009)): Qiu-Sterman function

10 D. Pitonyak RHIC, STAR (2012) RHIC, PHENIX (2012)  “Sign mismatch” crisis and possible resolutions CERN, COMPASS (2012) “sign mismatch” (Kang, et al. (2011)) SIDIS

11 D. Pitonyak Node in x or k T in the Sivers function: -Attempt to simultaneously fit SIDIS and pp data (Kang and Prokudin (2012)) SIDIS data from HERMES (left) and COMPASS (right) Proton-proton data from STAR at y = 3.3 (left) and y = 3.7 (right) Proton-proton data from BRAHMS for π + (left) and π - (right)

12 D. Pitonyak -SSA in inclusive DIS (Metz, DP, Schaefer, Schlegel, Vogelsang, Zhou, PRD 86 (2012)) o Work has also been done on both photons coupling to the same quark: Metz, Schlegel, Goeke (2006); Afanasev, Strikman, Weiss (2007); Schlegel (2012)

13 D. Pitonyak o Involves F FT in a QED process (qγq correlator) relate to F FT in a QCD process (qgq correlator) through a diquark model o Use 3 different inputs for F FT in a QCD process (T F in the relations given above): 1) Sivers: fit from Anselmino, et al. (2008) of Sivers asymmetry from SIDIS data 2) KQVY: fit from Kouvaris, et al. (2006) for SSAs in pp collisions 3) KP: simultaneous fit from Kang and Prokudin (2012) of pp and SIDIS data

14 D. Pitonyak o Proton SSA: Sivers input agrees exactly with the HERMES data KP input appears to become too large at large x (result of the node in x for the up quark Sivers function) KQVY input also appears to become too large at large x and actually diverges as x  1 Node in x in the Sivers function is not preferred, although it cannot be definitively excluded by the current data

15 D. Pitonyak o Neutron SSA: Sivers input agrees reasonably well with the preliminary JLab data KP input also agrees reasonable well with the preliminary data KQVY input gives the wrong sign SGP contribution on the side of the transversely polarized incoming proton cannot be the main cause of the large SSAs seen in pion production (i.e., T F (x,x) term) Node in k T for the Sivers function can be ruled out Sivers effect intimately connected to the re-scattering of the active parton with the target remnants

16 D. Pitonyak Negligible (Kanazawa and Koike (2000)) Collinear twist-3 fragmentation term: -Could at the very least give a contribution comparable to SGP term (Kang, Yuan, Zhou (2010); Kang and Yuan (2011); Anselmino, et al. (2012)) -Calculation of qq and qgq correlator terms (Metz and DP, arXiv:1212.5037)

17 D. Pitonyak Lightcone gauge Graph (c) gives a twist-4 contribution (Note: ) Collins function

18 D. Pitonyak Relations between F-type and D-type function H can be related to the imaginary part of the D-type function through the EOM: There are 2 independent collinear twist-3 functions relevant for the fragmentation of a quark into an unpolarized hadron

19 D. Pitonyak For A UT in the fragmentation side receives contributions from both qq and qgq correlators: -Only contributes to the graph on the right -Number of channels reduces due to vanishing traces -The PV piece survives instead of the pole part

20 D. Pitonyak -“Derivative term” has been calculated previously (Kang, Yuan, Zhou (2010)) -Derivative and non-derivative piece combine into a “compact” form as on the distribution side -Important to determine the impact of qgq fragmentation correlator terms -Cannot rule out SFPs (Koike and Tomita (2009); Kanazawa and Koike (2010)) or tri-gluon correlators on the distribution side, but they are unlikely to resolve the “sign mismatch” issue

21 D. Pitonyak Global analysis involving several reactions will be needed in order to extract the collinear twist-3 distribution and fragmentation functions in this process “Sign mismatch” still do not fully understand the mechanism behind the large transverse SSAs seen in pion production from pp collisions Fragmentation term? (SFPs? Tri-gluon correlators?) Completely different mechanism? Flat dependence seen in (preliminary) STAR data out to 10 GeV (Heppelmann, CIPANP 2012) collinear twist-3 formalism predicts dependence

22 Double-spin asymmetries D. Pitonyak  A LL and the “spin crisis” Twist-2 effect that has been studied in lepton-nucleon and nucleon-nucleon collisions gives access to parton helicity distributions Experiments by EMC and at SLAC showed that the spin of the quarks contributes only a small fraction (~25-30%) to the spin of the nucleon Remainder must come from OAM of the partons and spin of the gluons Evidence for a non-zero gluon contribution to the spin based on inclusive jet production measurements at STAR (de Florian, et al. (2011)) Δg has large uncertainties at smaller x RHIC, STAR (2006, 2009) RHIC, PHENIX (2012)

23 D. Pitonyak  Previous studies of A LT The analysis of A LT in processes with one large scale could give insight into both the A LL and A UT domains A LT in inclusive DIS A LT in W boson decay from pp collisions (Metz and Zhou (2011))... +

24 D. Pitonyak A LT in (Kang, et al. (2011)) A LT in Drell-Yan (Jaffe and Ji (1991, 1992); Tangerman and Mulders (1994))... None of these processes requires a complete set of collinear twist-3 functions (for a transversely polarized nucleon) for their description

25 D. Pitonyak  A LT in : a unique observable Focus on hadron (and jet) production (Metz, DP, Schaefer, Zhou, to be published in PRD) Photon production studied previously (Liang, Metz, DP, Schaefer, Song, Zhou, PLB 712 (2012))

26 Example: qg  qg channel (Note that h.c. diagrams have not been shown) -As in the fragmentation term for A UT, PV part survives the sum over cuts = gluon attachment D. Pitonyak

27 12 channels, over 200 diagrams Involves a complete set of collinear twist-3 functions for a transversely polarized nucleon

28 D. Pitonyak Example: qg  qg hard scattering coefficients

29 Comments on the analytical results -Analog of the calculation of A UT in the same processes (Qiu and Sterman (1992, 1999); Kouvaris, et al. (2006)) -Derivative and non-derivative contributions combine in the same compact form found in transverse SSAs in direct photon and inclusive pion production (Qiu and Sterman (1992); Kouvaris, et al. (2006); Koike and Tanaka (2007)) -Hard parts for F DT and G DT are different cannot combine into g T like in, e.g., A LT for inclusive DIS D. Pitonyak

30 Future numerical study -Must obtain input for the collinear twist-3 functions (relevant for a transversely polarized nucleon) that enter into the result Obtain through its relation to Use info from A LT in inclusive DIS and/or Wandzura-Wilczek approximation Limited information Braun, et al. (2011) - Use qqqg Fock states - F-type functions greatest when x ≠ x 1 Kang and Qiu (2009) - Use Gaussian form - F-type functions smallest when x ≠ x 1 D. Pitonyak

31 Benefits of a measurement of A LT in pion production at RHIC -Has the ability to probe Δg at momentum fractions x ~ 10 -3 (or even lower) -First step towards extracting non-diagonal information on 3-parton correlators, i.e., F FT and G FT -May provide information on whether the collinear twist-3 framework is the appropriate mechanism to describe these (single- and double-spin) asymmetries Needed to fully determine the evolution of F FT (x,x) (T F (x,x)) that plays a crucial role in transverse SSAs (Kang and Qiu (2009, 2012); Zhou, Yuan, Liang (2009); Schaefer, Zhou (2012); Vogelsang, Yuan (2009); Braun, Manashov, Pirnay (2009); Ma and Wang (2012)) Large discrepancy between numerical estimate and measurement would raise questions about the formalism D. Pitonyak

32 Conclusions and outlook D. Pitonyak  Single-spin asymmetries “Sign mismatch” between the SSA in and the Sivers effect in SIDIS indicates that we still do not understand the main cause of the SSA in inclusive pion production from pp -Unlikely to be resolved through nodes in the Sivers function (e.g., global fitting of pp, SIDIS data and SSA in inclusive DIS) -We have calculated qq and qgq terms from the fragmentation side -SFPs and/or tri-gluon correlators could also be important but are unlikely to resolve the issue Necessary to include all contributions in a global analysis involving several processes that will allow us to determine the relevant functions and their impact on the asymmetry Theoretical tools available to perform first complete pQCD calculation of SSAs for hyperon polarization,

33 D. Pitonyak  Double-spin asymmetries “Spin crisis” from analysis of A LL must determine parton OAM and gluon spin contributions to the nucleon spin -Evidence of a non-zero gluon spin seen in STAR inclusive jet data -Large uncertainties for Δg at small x A LT could give insight into both the A LL and A UT domains -We have calculated the observable in photon, hadron, and jet production from pp collisions Access a complete set of collinear twist-3 functions relevant for a transversely polarized nucleon Future numerical study planned to, in particular, determine impact of 3-parton correlators Measurement at RHIC can give insight on Δg at unexplored x, the evolution of F FT (x,x) (T F (x,x)), and the general collinear twist-3 mechanism
