Introduction lattice quantum chromodynamics concepts non-perturbative approach „from first principles“ methods algorithms substantial progress machines fundamental question: spin structure of hadrons very difficult to directly access in experiment transverse spin structure of the nucleon enormous progress in qualitative and quantitative understanding from quark position in coordinate space experiment (perturbative) QCD effective field theory models … connection? accessible in e.g. SIDIS experiments results in this talk based on the concept of generalized parton distributions, with outlook on possible implications for intrinsic transverse momentum dependent PDFs logitudinal spin : nucleon spin sumrule, quark spin and orbital angular momentum transversity, transverse spin : transverse spin densities of quarks in the nucleon we find strong correlations between spin, OAM and coordinate space DOFs interpretation
Standard processes SIDIS DVCS DIS exclusive find a process like deep ineleastic scattering (DIS) or deeply virtual compton scattering which (DVCS) experiment is sensitive to the nucleon matrix elements we are interested in factorizes contributions from higher twist complicated convolutions of numerous variables and non-perturbative observables

Implications for asymmetries conjecture / hypothesis Burkardt PRD 72 (2005); Meissner, Metz&Goecke 2007 asymmetries up-quark FSI M. Burkardt 2003/2005 expect sizeable effect with opposite sign for up- and down-quarks (Sivers-effect)

Lattice QCD prediction for azimuthal asymmetries large(?) Boer-Mulders effect with the same sign for up and down quarks strongly distorted densities of transversely polarized quarks in an unpolarized nucleon lead to prediction of a cos(2Ф) asymmetries in SIDIS (JLab, COMPASS) could be observed in unpolarized Drell-Yan (GSI-FAIR/PANDA) Jlab proposal PR12-06-112
what about the transverse spin structure of the pion? but is non-zero? First results on the spin structure of pions from lattice QCD longitudinal spin structure is trivial pion spin structure?
preliminary preliminary n=2 n=1 the pion has a very suprising non-trivial transverse spin structure! First results on the spin structure of pions from lattice QCD YES
Summary up- and down-quark densities strongly distorted for transversely polarized quarks in transversely polarized nucleons possible consequences for asymmetries in SDIS and Drell-Yan (following arguments by M. Burkardt) unpolarized quarks in a transversely polarized nucleon: significant SSAs (seen by e.g. HERMES, PRL 2005) transversely polarized quarks in an unpolarized nucleon: significant azimuthal asymmetries („lattice QCD prediction“, to be confirmed by e.g. Jlab, COMPASS, GSI-FAIR/PANDA measurements) the pion has a non-trivial (transverse) spin structure
Interpretation of the observed deformation patterns in parts based on M. Burkardts interpretation of distortions we know from longitudinal polarized quarks/nucleons: spin of up-quarks is aligned with nucleon spin spin of down-quarks is anti-aligned with nucleon spin assume : for up- and down-quarks down-quarks in an „unpolarized“ nucleon =1/2( + )1/2 high density in the upper half plane d-quarks „unpolarized“ down-quarks in a polarized nucleon = + high density in the lower half plane d-quarks

Spin density matrices and transversity answer: three transversity spin density matrix helicities lesson: we have three independent amplitudes; transversity as important as unpolarized and polarized quark distributions helicities Soffer-bound number of independent quark-nucleon helicity amplitudes = ? helicity conservation+ parity invariance

How to measure the non-perturbative transversity (or tensor) form factors? very challenging – basic QCD vertices don‘t allow for a helicity-flip of a quark experiment Diehl,Gousset,Pire PRD 1999 Collins, Diehl PRD 2002 are defined by nucleon matrix elements of local quark operators! however: x-moments = operator insertion = lattice QCD
