Summary • A proper regularization method is provided to deal with the light cone singularity in high-twist calculations. • A more general gauge link at light cone infinity can be obtained naturally from the pinched poles. • The difference of the gauge link between SIDIS and DY process can be obtained directly in our derivation. • The gauge link at light cone infinity is independent on the path not only for Abelian but also non-Abelian gauge.
