The three-dimensional structure of the proton in momentum space can be described via Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMDs) parton distribution functions. One of these TMDs, known as the Sivers function f┴1T, describes the correlation of parton transverse momentum with the transverse spin of the nucleon. RHIC is the worlds only facility that can run polarized p+p collisions at a center-of-mass...
