TMDPDF We Can Define A Gauge Invariant TMDPDF In SCET (And Factorize SIDIS)
Drell-Yan At Low PT Introduce Gauge Invariant Quark Jet: The TMDPDF Is Indeed Gauge Invariant.
Collinear Anomaly Notice That The Cross-Section Is Independent Of The Renormalization Scale (RG Invariance). Also (Up To Three Loop Calculation!) For Vanishing Soft Function, The Product Of Two TMDPDFs Has to Be Logarithmically Dependent On The Renormalization Scale. This is Impossible Unless There Is Anomaly.
Origin Of Collinear Anomaly In The Absence Of Soft Interactions Different Collinear Sectors Do Not Interact So There Is No Way To Generate The Q-Dependence Classically Each Collinear Lagrangian Is Invariant Under Rescaling of Collinear Momentum. For TMDPDF Quantum Loop Effects Needs Regulation Then Classical Invariance Is Lost However The Q-Dependence Is Obtained

Application To Heavy-Ion Physics D´Eramo, Liu, Rajagopal In LC Gauge The Above Quantity Is Meaningless. If We Add To It The T-Wilson line Then We Get A Gauge Invariant Physical Entity.
Conclusions The usual SCET building blocks havetobemodifiedintroducing a New Gauge Link, the T-Wilson line. Usingthe new formalismweget gauge invariantdefinitions of non-perturbativematrixelements. In particular the T iscompulsoryformatrixelements of fieldsseparated in thetransversedirection. Thesematrixelements are relevant in semi-inclusive crosssectionsortransversemomentumdependentones. Itispossiblethatthe use of LC gauge helps in theproofs of factorization. Theinclusion of T is so fundamental. Work in progress in thisdirection.
Conclusions Itisdefinetelypossibletounderstandtheorigin of T-Wilson lines in a Lagrangianframeworkfor EFT. Every sector of the SCET can beappropriatelywritten in LCG. The LCG has peculiar propertyforloopcalculation and can avoidtheintroduction of new ad-hoc regulators Thereis a richphenomenologytobestudied… so a lot of work in progress!! THANKS!
