In this talk, we presented our recent studies of the QCD evolution effects on the transverse momentum dependent observables in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan lepton pair productions. The evolution is first tested for the spin average cross sections, and then applied to the Sivers single transverse spin asymmetries. The latter are among the important topics in hadronic physics research in recent years.

This article presents a summary of overlapping presentations by the author to the QCD Evolution 2013 Workshop (Jefferson Lab, May 6-10, 2013) and to the Opportunities for Polarized Physics at Fermilab workshop (Fermilab, May 20-22, 2013). It contains an introduction to the concept of Kane-Pumplin-Repko (KPR) factorization and describes how this concept can be used in the analysis of high precision measurements of parity-conserving transverse single-spin asymmetries. The discussion demonstrates that such measurements can not only probe directly for specific mechanisms that enhance our fundamental understanding of nonperturbative QCD dynamics but, because transverse spin asymmetries are unambiguously parameterized by a spin-directed momentum shift, 〈δkTN (x, μ2)〉 such measurements can also be used to calibrate other phenomenological applications of transverse momentum dependent distributions (TMDs) and of TMD evolution. The calibration supplied by these measurements can thus enable the use of TMD factorization for the exploration of a broad range of other aspects of hadronic structure. KPR factorization ensures that 〈δkTN (x, μ2)〉 remains invariant under TMD evolution and this invariance can be used in the precision comparison of transverse single-spin asymmetries in the Drell-Yan process with those in Semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering.

We update the well-known BLNY fit to the low transverse momentum Drell–Yan lepton pair productions in hadronic collisions, by considering the constraints from the semi-inclusive hadron production in deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) from HERMES and COMPASS experiments. We follow the Collins–Soper–Sterman (CSS) formalism with the [Formula: see text]-prescription. A nonperturbative form factor associated with the transverse momentum dependent quark distributions is found in the analysis with a new functional form different from that of BLNY. This releases the tension between the BLNY fit to the Drell–Yan data with the SIDIS data from HERMES/COMPASS in the CSS resummation formalism.

Unpolarised semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering is receiving a growing interest as a powerful tool to access poorly known transverse momentum dependent parton distributions and fragmentation functions that play a key role in many processes, in particular in the study of the spin structure of the nucleon. These functions can be investigated through experimental observables. New results on these observables by the COMPASS experiment at CERN will be shown and discussed.

The study of the transverse spin and transverse momentum structure of the nucleon is an important part of the scientific program of COMPASS, a fixed target experiment taking data at the CERN SPS since 2002. In these ten years COMPASS has produced a number of interesting results by measuring the forward going hadrons produced in deep inelastic scattering of a 160 GeV muon beam off polarized deuteron and proton targets. The COMPASS contribution to the understanding of the transverse structure of the nucleon, and the possible future contributions, are briefly reviewed here.

In this talk, we present our recent work about QCD evolution effect on the transverse momentum dependent(TMD) observables for collins asymmetries in e+e- annihilation to di-hadron and semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering(SIDIS) processes, by taking into account TMD evolution effect is studied under CSS formalism. Our result shows the evolution effect will bring a significant correction to TMD distributions extracted form experiment data.
