We perform the first simultaneous QCD global analysis of data from semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, Drell-Yan, e+e- annihilation into hadron pairs, and proton-proton collisions. Consequently, we are able to extract a universal set of nonperturbative functions that describes the observed asymmetries in these reactions. The outcome of our analysis indicates single transverse-spin...
We report preliminary results from the first measurement of a novel beam-spin asymmetry involving the back-to-back production of a target-fragmentation proton and current-fragmentation $\pi^+$. Non-zero $\sin \Delta \phi$ moments for the semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering process, $ep \rightarrow P \pi^+ X$, where the $\Delta \phi$ is the difference of azimuthal angles between the two...
The quasi-PDF approach has made it possible to extract the light-cone PDFs from lattice QCD. In this approach, one calculates matrix elements of space-like operators for boosted hadrons. Quasi-PDFs can be related to the light-cone PDFs through a perturbatively calculable matching coefficient. We address the matching for the very first time for the twist-3 PDFs $g_{T}(x)$ and $h_{L}(x)$. In...
Twist-3 distributions are very important quantities for the study of hadron structure, and presently they are poorly known experimentally. In this talk, we present the first-ever results on the proton iso-vector twist-3 PDFs $g_T(x)$ and $h_L(x)$, obtained from lattice QCD. We employ the quasi-PDF approach, which is based on computation of correlation functions between two boosted proton...
We re-examine the jet probes of the nucleon spin and flavor structures. We find for the first time
that the time-reversal odd (T-odd) component of a jet, conventionally thought to vanish, can survive
due to the nonperturbative fragmentation and hadronization effects. This additional contribution
of a jet will lead to novel jet phenomena relevant for unlocking the access to several spin...
