Transverse single spin asymmetries for hadron production in polarized semi-inclusive deeply inelastic scattering (SIDIS) are nowadays one of the main source of information on transversity, the quark Sivers distributions and the Collins fragmentation function, and on their transverse momentum dependence. However, in SIDIS the transverse momentum of the final hadron, that is the quantity...

The COMPASS Collaboration has recently measured the Sivers asymmetries weighted with the hadron transverse momentum, analyzing the high statistics data sample collected in 2010 to measure semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering on a transversely polarised proton target.
These asymmetries provide direct information on the Sivers function, which is one of the most studied transverse momentum...

In 2015 at the COMPASS experiment at CERN a pion beam with momentum of 190 GeV/c interacted with a transversely polarised NH_3 target. Muon pairs produced in the DrellโYan process were detected. In addition to the extraction of the transverse spin asymmetries (TSAs) from this data, a complementary analysis of the TSAs weighted by powers of the dimuon momentum q_T has been done and will be...

The STAR Collaboration at RHIC is exploring the partonic origin of the proton spin with a broad range of measurements in polarized pp collisions. STAR measurements of the transverse single-spin asymmetry, $A_N$, for $W$ boson production provide the first experimental investigation of the non-universality of the Sivers function. Precise follow-up measurements of $A_N$ for direct photon...

Within the framework of transverse-momentum-dependent factorization, we investigate for the first time the impact of a flavor-dependent intrinsic transverse momentum of quarks on the production of W bosons in hadronic collisions.

The high beam quality combined with the large acceptance of CLAS12 will allow for the first time to...

Large transverse single-spin asymmetries (TSSA) in hadron production at forward rapidity have been observed in polarized $p$+$p$ interactions for many decades, over a large range of center-of-mass energies, and have led to the investigation of spin-momentum correlations such as the Sivers and Collins effects. In the last few years, it has been discovered at RHIC that these single-spin...

Non-zero transverse single spin asymmetry, AN, of forward pi0 production in the pseudo rapidity range of 3<eta<4 has been measured by various experiments so far and usually interpreted by hard process mechanism between polarized and unpolarized proton collisions. However, no clue can be found yet if there is a potential contribution from the soft process and recently larger AN was also...

We present the first extraction of the transversity distribution based on the global analysis of pion-pair production in deep-inelastic scattering and in proton-proton collisions with one transversely polarized proton.

Since 2005, measurements of Collins and Sivers asymmetries from the HERMES

Using the quark quasi-distribution approach, we present the first direct calculation of the transversity parton distribution function within the nucleon from lattice QCD.

The J/Psi, a bound state of charm and anti-charm quark with spin 1, decays into lepton pairs with a large branching ratios. Its production in polarized and unpolarized p+p collisions sheds light on different aspects of QCD. At RHIC energies, charmonium production in $p$+$p$ collisions is dominated by gluon-gluon interaction. As a result, measurements of the TSSA in polarized $p$+$p$ collisions...

Transverse single-spin asymmetries (TSSAs) of proton-proton collisions have a long history of revealing the richness of QCD. They were originally measured in fixed target experiments and ignored for a couple decades because it was assumed that they came incalculable soft QCD interactions. But they have been found to persist in collisions up to \sqrt{s} = 510 GeV, well into the perturbative...

In 2016 and 2017 the COMPASS Collaboration has measured 160 GeV/c muon scattering on a 2.5 m long liquid Hydrogen target.

The measurement of azimuthal modulations in hadron leptoproduction on unpolarised nucleons allows to get information on the intrinsic transverse momentum of quarks in a nucleon through both the Cahn effect and the Boer-Mulders function. In particular the latter describes a possible correlation between the intrinsic transverse momentum and the transverse spin of the quarks of an unpolarized...

Evolution of transverse momentum dependent distributions (TMD evolution) is an evolution with respect to two scales: the renormalization and rapidity scales. The double scale evolution grants a freedom in the definition of physical observables, which naively could lead to ambiguous results. We show that the double-evolution picture has a natural interpretation in terms of evolution potential,...

The factorization theorem for DY and semi-inclusive DIS holds for all leading twist transverse momentum distributions. However a QCD perturbative calculation shows several important characteristics of spin-dependent distributions.

In processes where two quarks are extracted from the proton to enter two separate hard scatterings (double parton scattering), the interparton correlations can have an impact on the size of the cross section and significantly alter the distributions of particles in the final state.

Higher-twist transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs) go beyond the parton model description of a proton as they describe correlations between quarks and gluons. Higher-twist TMDs, however, turn out to be very elusive objects, as they are difficult to extract from experimental data. Twist-3 distributions can be decomposed as a sum of different contributions. In general, these...
