Outline • Introduction: physics of TMD • QCD factorization for semi-inclusive DIS • Some phenomenological results • Summary APS/JPS Hawaii
Inclusive and Semi-inclusive DIS Inclusive DIS: Partonic Distribution depending on the longitudinal momentum fraction Semi-inclusive DIS: Probe additional information for partons’ transverse distribution in nucleon APS/JPS Hawaii
Different P? Region • Integrate out P? -- similar to inclusive DIS, probe int. PDF • Large P? (ÀQCD) -- hard gluon radiation, can be calculated from perturbative QCD, Polarized ->q-g-q correlations • Low P? (»QCD) -- nonperturbative information (TMD): new factorization formula APS/JPS Hawaii
TMD Physics • A way to measure Transversity Distribution, the last unkownleading twist distribution Collins 1993 • The Novel Single Spin Asymmetries • Connections with GPDs, and Quantum Phase Space Wigner distributions • Quark Orbital Angular Momentum and Many others … APS/JPS Hawaii
TMD Distribution: the definition Gauge Invariance requires the Gauge Link Brodsky,Hwang,Schmidt 02’ Collins 02’ Belitsky,Ji,Yuan 02’ APS/JPS Hawaii
This definition is also consistent with the QCD factorization APS/JPS Hawaii
One-loop Factorization: virtual • Vertex corrections (single quark target) p′ k p Four possible regions for the gluon momentum k: 1) k is collinear to p (parton distribution) 2) k is collinear to p′ (fragmentation) 3) k is soft (Soft factor) 4) k is hard (pQCD correction) APS/JPS Hawaii
Gluon Radiation (single quark target) One-Loop Factorization: real p′ k p Three reagions for the gluon momentum k: 1) k is collinear to p (parton distribution) 2) k is collinear to p′ (fragmentation) 3) k is soft (Soft factor) APS/JPS Hawaii
All Orders in Perturbation Theory • Consider an arbitrary Feynman diagram • Find the singular contributions from different regions of the momentum integrations • Power counting to determine the leading regions • Factorize the soft (Grammer-Yennie) and collinear gluons (Ward Identity) • Factorization theorem.
