Heavy Flavor Production

Transverse single-spin asymmetries provide valuable information about the spin structure of the nucleon. At RHIC energies, heavy-flavor production is dominated by gluon-gluon fusion, and the subsequent decay into high [Formula: see text] electrons or muons can be observed statistically in a collider detector like PHENIX. The transverse single-spin asymmetry in heavy-flavor production originates from the initial state correlation between the internal transverse momentum of the parton and the transverse spin of the nucleon (similar with the known Sivers effect). The measurement of transverse single-spin asymmetry of single muons from heavy flavor decay at RHIC serves as a clean probe and would provide important information on the gluon Sivers function. In 2012, the PHENIX experiment collected 9.2 [Formula: see text] integrated luminosity in transversely polarized [Formula: see text] collisions at [Formula: see text] = 200 GeV with a polarization of [Formula: see text]. The signal-to-background ratio was improved by a factor of two compared to the previous RHIC 2006 and 2008 results in high transverse momentum region ([Formula: see text]GeV). The recent PHENIX preliminary results of transverse single-spin asymmetries of single heavy flavor decay muon at forward-rapidity will be shown and the possible improvement on this measurement in 2015 with the help of the FVTX detector will be discussed.

Fundamental Understanding

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.

Target Experiment

The study of transverse spin and transverse momentum effects is part of the scientific program of COMPASS, a fixed target experiment at the CERN SPS. For these studies, a 160 GeV/c momentum muon beam is scattered on a transversely polarized nucleon target, and the scattered muon and the forward going hadrons produced in DIS processes are reconstructed and identified in a magnetic spectrometer. The measurements have been performed on a deuteron target in 2002, 2003 and 2004, and on a proton target in 2007. The main results obtained measuring single spin asymmetries are reviewed, with particular emphasis on the most recent proton measurements. After two years of spectroscopy measurements with hadron beams, in 2008 and 2009, the Collaboration will resume measurements with the muon beam and a transversely polarized target in 2010.

We present first measurements of forward jet production from p↑ + p collisions at [Formula: see text] GeV, including transverse single spin asymmetries. These asymmetries are expected to be sensitive to spin-correlated transverse momentum in the initial state, which is particularly interesting because it is related to orbital angular momentum in the proton.

Successful Approach

The twist-3 collinear factorization framework has drawn much attention in recent decades as a successful approach in describing the data for single spin asymmetries (SSAs). Many SSAs data have been experimentally accumulated in a variety of energies since the first measurement was done in the late 1970s and it is expected that the future experiments like Electron-Ion-Collider will provide us with more data. In order to perform a consistent and precise description of the data taken in different kinematic regimes, the scale evolution of the collinear twist-3 functions and the perturbative higher-order hard part coefficients are mandatory. In this paper, we introduce the techniques for next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation of transverse-momentum-weighted SSAs, which can be served as a useful tool to derive the QCD evolution equation for twist-3 functions and to verify the QCD collinear factorization for twist-3 observables at NLO, as well as obtain the finite NLO hard part coefficients.

Sivers effect is describing the correlation between the transverse polarization of nucleon and the transverse momentum, [Formula: see text], of its unpolarized constituent partons. This effect is an outstanding subject and in this regard, a great deal in recent years has been considered from experimental and phenomenological points of view. It also plays an essential role to extend our understanding from nucleon structure. Semi-inclusive DIS (SIDIS) process provides us an opportunity to access to Sivers function which is dependent on transverse momentum of partons. In this paper, for the first time the covariant parton model is used to deliver us the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] dependence part of Sivers function. Based on this model, this combinatory dependence is arising out from the HERAPDF parametrization group. In this paper the other required parametrized functions in Sivers function is also changed with respect to Ref. 1. The unknown parameters which exist in Sivers function can be extracted, doing a global fit over the recent available experimental data, including HERMES, COMPASS and JLAB collaborations for the single spin asymmetry (SSA) in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] meson production as well as kaon production to constrain the evolved strange quark. This is done, considering advanced mathematical manipulations to overcome the difficulties which exist to compute the required multiple integrals and finally employing the CERN MINIUTE program to do a global fit. Our results for SSA are in good agreement with the available experimental data. For more confirmation a comparison between our results and the ones from Ref. 2 is also done.
