Abstract Over the last decade, theoretical and experimental engagement of transverse-spin phenomena has unlocked tantalizing opportunities for new insights into nucleon structure and hadronization. Observables such as hadrons in jets and dihadron correlations from polarized proton collisions provide access to the transversity distribution function at a range of x complementary to existing semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) experiments but at a much higher range of Q 2. Moreover, these two observables give access through two different factorization frameworks–transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) and collinear–enabling a unique path to address questions concerning factorization-breaking and the universality of TMD functions. Data collected by STAR have revealed the first observations of transverse single-spin asymmetries in the azimuthal distributions of dihadron correlations and hadrons within jets from polarized proton collisions at both s = 500 GeV and 200 GeV. The STAR 200 GeV dihadron data have recently been included in global analyses that for the first time include SIDIS, e + e −, and p + p data to extract the transversity distribution. The STAR hadron-in-jet data provide a unique opportunity to illuminate longstanding questions: Do factorization and universality extend to the TMD picture in proton-proton collisions, e.g. through the Collins mechanism? How do TMD functions evolve with changing kinematics? The STAR dihadron and hadron-in-jet data will be presented and discussed in context with the recent global analyses and model calculations.

Abstract We perform global fit to the quark Sivers function within the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization formalism in QCD. We simultaneously fit Sivers asymmetry data from Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) at COMPASS, HERMES, and JLab, from Drell-Yan lepton pair production at COMPASS, and from W/Z boson at RHIC. This extraction is performed at next-to-leading order (NLO) and next-to-next-to leading logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy. We find excellent agreement between our extracted asymmetry and the experimental data for SIDIS and Drell-Yan lepton pair production, while tension arises when trying to describe the spin asymmetries of W/Z bosons at RHIC. We carefully assess the situation, and we study in details the impact of the RHIC data and their implications through different ways of performing the fit. In addition, we find that the quality of the description of W/Z vector boson asymmetry data could be strongly sensitive to the DGLAP evolution of Qiu-Sterman function, besides the usual TMD evolution. We present discussion on this and the implications for measurements of the transverse-spin asymmetries at the future Electron Ion Collider.

The HERMES experiment has measured double spin asymmetries in the cross section for deep–inelastic scattering of longitudinally polarized positrons on longitudinally polarized 3 He (1995), 1 H (1996/97), and 2 D (1998) targets. A kinematic range of 0.023 < x < 0.6, and 1 GeV 2 < Q2 < 15 GeV 2 has been covered. From these asymmetries, based on inclusive and semi–inclusive measurements, polarized quark distributions are extracted as a function of x for up [Formula: see text] and down [Formula: see text] flavors as well as for valence and sea quarks. In the measured range, the up quark polarization is positive while the down quark polarization is negative. The sea quark polarization is compatible with zero. In this analysis all sea quark polarizations have been assumed to be flavor symmetric. Presently HERMES is analyzing a high statistics 2 D data sample taken in 1999-2000. For these data it is possible to identify pions and kaons with a RICH detector which was installed in 1998. This will enable an extraction of the individual sea quark flavors [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] without any symmetry assumptions.
