74. New and future transverse spin results at PHENIX

Marie BOER (LANL)

We would like to present recent results and discuss future opportunities at the PHENIX experiment in transverse spin physics. Several measurements have been performed in p+p collisions using transversely polarized proton beams at the RHIC facility. Recently, p+A collisions with transversely polarized protons have also been performed, and allow the study of nuclear dependences of the transverse...

68. Extraction of the Sivers distribution functions and Sivers sign change: an update

Mariaelena Boglione (INFN Turin)

I will present recent updates on the extraction of the Sivers distribution function using the newest 3D data presently available, and examine their consequences on the long debated issue of the "Sivers sign change".

85. Gluon Sivers function and linearly polarized gluons in $J/\psi$ production in $ep$ collision

Among the leading twist gluon TMDs, gluon Sivers function (GSF) and Boer-Mulders function (BMF) have been receiving paramount of interest in spin physics, as they provide the spin nature of the hadron. The GSF and BMF describe the density of unpolarized and linearly polarized gluons inside the transversely and unpolarized proton respectively. The non-perturbative GSF and BMF can be extracted...
