Explore evidence for transverse motion of partons and hadrons within nucleons and fragmentation jets, including spin-k┴ correlations and effects like Collins, Sivers, and Boer-Mulders. Study SIDIS kinematics, unpolarized and polarized SIDIS, fitting data, and Sivers asymmetry. Utilize EMC and HERMES data for predictions and comparisons to advance QCD understanding of proton structure and hard processes.

Searching for intrinsic motion effects in SIDIS Strategy (within LO parton model): Based on work in collaboration with E. Boglione, U. D’Alesio, A. Kotzinian, F. Murgia and A. Prokudin Phys. Rev.

Plenty of theoretical and experimental evidence for transverse motion of partons within nucleons and of hadrons within fragmentation jets • Uncertainty principle • Gluon radiation • qTdistribution of lepton pairs in D-Y processes • pT distribution of hadrons in SIDIS, • Hadron distribution in jets in e+e– processes • Large pTparticle production in • ···· Transverse motion is usually integrated, but there might be important spin-k┴ correlations

Cahn: the observed azimuthal dependence is related to the intrinsic k┴of quarks (at least for small PTvalues) assuming collinear fragmentation,φ= Φh These modulations of the cross section with azimuthal angle are denoted as “Cahn effect”.
The situation is more complicated as the produced hadron has also intrinsic transverse momentum with respect to the fragmenting parton. neglecting terms

The closed area shows effects of varying by 20% Data fromE665, ELab= 490 GeV. σ is integrated fromPTcut to PTmax.At low PTcut the non perturbative k┴ contributions dominate. At large PTcut NLO pQCD contributions take over

HERMES data on In this case both Sivers and Collins effect can contribute; results show a clear need for Collins or H-T contributions

Conclusions A complete QCD description of the proton structure and hard processes requires the explicit inclusion of transverse motion, which is essential for spin effects Attempted consistent phenomenological approach in SIDIS and in hadro-production Many progresses and many (more) open problems: x, z and Q2 dependence of <k┴2> and <p┴2> QCD evolution of spin-k┴ dependent distribution and fragmentation functions More and more precise experimental data ………………………..
