  2. Introduction Why do we care about transverse (spin) structure? Obvious for Gary (decades ago).

  3. Nucleon Structure and QCD Colors are confined in hadronic system Hadron: ideal lab to study QCD Nucleon = u u d + sea + gluons Mass, charge, magnetic moment, spin, axial charge, tensor charge Decomposition of each of the fundamental quantities Mass: ~1 GeV, but u/d quark mass only a few MeV each! Momentum: quarks carry ~ 50% Spin: ½, quarks contribute ~30% Spin Sum Rule Orbital Angular Momentum Relations to GPDs and TMDs Tensor charge Transverse sum rule(?) Quarks and gluon field are in-separable Multi-parton correlations are important Beyond co-linear factorization Transverse dimension is crucial for understanding nucleon structure and QCD, help understanding confinement

  4. Four Decades of Nucleon Structure Study • 1970s: SLAC DIS  Bjorken Scaling, discovery of partons (quarks) 4 decades study on unpolarized structure, 5 orders in x range and Q2 Global analyses to extract unpolarized PDFs • 1980s: ‘spin crisis’, quark spin contribution to proton spin is very small 3 decades study on longitudinally polarized structure: 3 orders in x and 2 in Q2 • DS ~ 30%; DG small Orbital angular momentum important, definition? A+=0 (light-cone) gauge(½)DS + Lq+ DG + Lg=1/2 (Jaffe) Gauge invariant (½)DS + Lq + JG =1/2 (Ji) A new decomposition (X. Chen, et. al.) • 2000s:Transversity and Transverse-Momentum-Dependent Distributions Model-dependent extraction of transversity distributions Spin-orbit correlations, orbital angular momentum Multi-parton correlations, QCD dynamics, Confinement

  13. Transversity and TMDs What have we learned?

  14. Transversity and TMDs • Three twist-2 quark distributions: • Momentum distributions: q(x,Q2) = q↑(x) + q↓(x) • Longitudinal spin distributions: Δq(x,Q2) = q↑(x) - q↓(x) • Transversity distributions: δq(x,Q2) = q┴(x) - q┬(x) • It takes two chiral-odd objects to measure transversity • Semi-inclusive DIS Chiral-odd distributions function(transversity) Chiral-odd fragmentation function(Collins function) • TMDs: (without integrating over PT) • Distribution functions depends on x, k┴ and Q2 : δq, f1T┴ (x,k┴,Q2), … • Fragmentation functions depends on z, p┴ and Q2 : D, H1(x,p┴,Q2) • Measured asymmetries depends on x, z, P┴ and Q2 : Collins, Sivers, … (k┴, p┴ and P┴ are related)
