Description

Transversity 2022 is the 6th international workshop on transverse phenomena in hard processes and the transverse structure of the proton, following those held in 2005 on Lake Como (Italy), 2008 in Ferrara (Italy), 2011 in Lošinj (Croatia), 2014 in Cagliari (Italy), and 2017 in Frascati (Italy). Originally foreseen in 2020, due to Covid-19 the workshop has been postponed to 2022.

The aim of the workshop is to present and discuss in depth theoretical and experimental knowledge in the field of transversity, transverse-momentum dependent distribution and fragmentation functions, as well as generalised parton distribution functions. The workshop represents a valuable opportunity to gather the spin physics community, with a broad participation of theorists, as well as of experimentalists working in international collaborations at BEPC-II, BNL, CERN, DESY, KEK and Jefferson Lab, all deeply involved in this area of research. Developments related to the Electron Ion Collider will also be discussed. The workshop will also be a unique occasion for young researchers to form a detailed and up-to-date perspective on this fast-developing research field, and to present and discuss their own work and projects in a highly stimulating and reactive context.

        The transverse spin structure of the nucleon: overview and perspectives of COMPASS SIDIS measurements

        The SIDIS data collected from 2002 to 2010 in COMPASS using a high energy muon beam and transversely polarised proton and deuteron targets, have allowed to performed many unique measurements. In this talk the main results and their interpretation, as well as the new expected measurements, will be reviewed. The need of the more deuteron data and the perspectives from the future COMPASS data taking will also be summarised.

        Dihadron beam spin asymmetries from SIDIS with proton and deuteron targets at CLAS12

        Correlators such as parton distribution functions (PDFs) exhibit flavor dependence, which is accessible from complementary Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) measurements with proton and neutron targets. SIDIS off the neutron can be explored using nuclear targets, in particular the deuteron, wherein the quark flavor combination differs from that of the proton. Recent $\pi^+\pi^-$ dihadron beam spin asymmetry measurements allow for a point-by-point extraction of the collinear twist-3 PDF $e(x)$, which gives further insight into quark and gluon interactions. These measurements were performed with a proton target, but complementary measurements with a neutron target are necessary for disentangling the flavor dependence of $e(x)$. The presented study offers a first look at a comparison of $\pi^+\pi^-$ beam spin asymmetries from proton and deuteron targets at CLAS12.

        Chiral-odd PDFs from dihadron observables and the role of positivity constraints

        In this short talk, we discuss chiral-odd PDFs that can be accessed through dihadron observables: the transversity PDF and the twist-3 scalar PDF e(x).
        The former is subject to positivity constraints, the Soffer bound. Recent analyses have explored the role of theoretical constraints on the tensor charge. We comment on that point, in view of future improvements in all global analyses.
        As for the scalar PDF, its extended relation to nonperturbative manifestations of QCD makes it a unique object. We discuss its first extraction in a collinear framework as well as possible and necessary extensions towards a full QCD analysis.

        First observation of correlations between spin and transverse momenta in back-to-back dihadron production at CLAS12

        We report the first measurements of deep inelastic scattering spin-dependent azimuthal asymmetries in back-to-back hadron electroproduction, where one hadron is produced in the current fragmentation region and the other in the target fragmentation region. The data were taken with a 10.2 and 10.6 GeV longitudinally polarized electron beam incident on an unpolarized liquid hydrogen target using the CLAS12 Spectrometer at Jefferson Lab. Observed non-zero $\sin\Delta\phi$ modulations in $ep \rightarrow e'p\pi^+X$ events, where $\Delta\phi$ is the difference of the azimuthal angles of the proton and pion in the virtual photon-target nucleon center-of-mass frame, indicate that correlations between the spin and transverse momenta of hadrons produced in the target and current fragmentation regions may be significant. The measured beam-spin asymmetries provide a first access in dihadron production to a previously unobserved leading-twist spin and transverse momentum-dependent fracture function. The fracture functions describe the hadronization of the target remnant after the hard scattering of a virtual photon off a quark in the target particle and provide a new avenue for studying nucleonic structure and hadronization.

        Multi-Dimensional studies of the ep->e'p'+X Single Spin Asymmetries

        Studies of the properties and the azimuthal distribution of hadrons produced in the Target Fragmentation Region serve as a test of our complete understanding of the different mechanisms in the SIDIS production of hadrons and provide additional information on the QCD dynamics that are not accessible with single hadron production in the Current Fragmentation Region. We present first Multi-dimensional studies of beam SSA for semi-inclusive protons (ep → e′p'+X), produced in the TFR, that can be related to higher twist Fracture Functions describing the F_LU structure function. Such measurements were performed with the CLAS12 detector in Hall B at Jefferson lab using a longitudinally polarized 10.6~GeV electron beam on an unpolarized hydrogen target. Preliminary results of this study captured the transition between the TFR and CFR regions showing a clear sign change of the SSA for protons produced in the backward region in CM, dominated by TFR protons providing a criteria for experimental separation of CFR and TFR regions. These findings are opening a new avenue for studies of nucleon structure.

        Recent experimental results on TMD and dihadron fragmentation functions

        Single and dihadron fragmentation functions (FFs) are an essential tool in accessing the transverse spin and momentum structure of the nucleon. The chiral-odd FFs provide nearly unique access to the transvsersity distributions and the related tensor charges. Transverse momentum dependent FFs enable the study of various transverse momentum dependent distribution functions in the nucleon. Furthermore, both polarized and unpolarized FFs add flavor sensitivity that would not be available with either inclusive or jet related measurements.
        FFs can be accessed particularly well in electron-positron annihilation, due to the clean initial state. The present status of FF related measurements will be presented.

        Transverse-momentum distributions of hadrons produced in DIS at COMPASS

        In semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) the non-zero transverse momentum of partons is reflected in the transverse momentum $P_T$ of the produced hadrons. Assuming Gaussian dependence of transverse momentum dependent (TMD) PDFs and fragmentation functions (FFs) upon quark transverse momentum, exponential distribution of $P_T^2$ is expected. In 2016 and 2017, COMPASS experiment at CERN collected a large sample of SIDIS events using a longitudinally polarised 160~GeV/$c$ muon beam scattering on a liquid hydrogen target. The $P_T^2$ distributions of charged hadrons have been extracted from part of the data. They can be described by two exponentials and they qualitatively agree with earlier COMPASS measurements with an isoscalar target.

        Azimuthal asymmetries in unpolarized SIDIS at COMPASS

        The azimuthal asymmetries, given by the amplitudes of the modulations in the azimuthal angle $\phi_{h}$ of the hadrons produced in SIDIS, give access to the Transverse-Momentum-Dependent structure of the nucleon. In unpolarized SIDIS, of particular interest are the $\cos\phi_{h}$ and $\cos2\phi_{h}$ modulations, generated by the Cahn effect and by the Boer-Mulders TMD PDF $h_1^{\perp}$, convoluted with the Collins fragmentation function. Additional information on $h_1^{\perp}$ can be gained by measuring the azimuthal asymmetries of hadron pairs.
        In 2016 and 2017, the COMPASS Collaboration at CERN collected a large sample of DIS events with a longitudinally polarised 160 GeV/$c$ muon beam scattering off a liquid hydrogen target. Part of the collected data has been analyzed to extract preliminary results for the azimuthal asymmetry of the charged hadrons and of the hadron pairs, the latter shown here for the first time.

        PDF bias and flavor dependence in TMD distributions

        Transverse momentum dependent (TMD) distributions match collinear parton density functions (PDF) in the limit of small transverse distances, which is accounted for by global extractions of TMD distributions. We study the influence of the PDF choice on the determination of unpolarized TMDPDFs and the description of TMD Drell-Yan-pair and Z-boson production data. We find that PDF essentially biases the extraction of TMDPDF. The bias is alleviated once the PDF uncertainty is taken into account and the non-perturbative TMD profile is flavor-dependent. Both points improve the agreement between theory and experiment, substantially increase the uncertainty in extracted TMD distributions, and should be taken into account in future global analyses.

        Transverse $Lambda$-hyperon polarization in e+e- annihilation processes within the TMD formalism.

        Data from Belle Collaboration for associated (with a light unpolarized hadron) and single-inclusive production of transversely polarized $\Lambda$-hyperons in $e^+e^-$ annihilation processes allowed to extract, for the first time, the $\Lambda$ polarizing fragmentation function, by adopting a simplified TMD approach. Recent theoretical developments on the computation of cross sections for single-inclusive hadron production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation, within a Soft Collinear Effective Theory approach, combined with the CSS formalism for the double-hadron production case, have been used to perform a renewed analysis, adopting a proper TMD factorization scheme. A detailed a comparison with the former analysis will be discussed. Preliminary estimates for the transverse $\Lambda$ polarization at OPAL and at $\sqrt s = M_Z$ will also be presented.

        Thrust resummation and TMD effects in $e^+e^-$ annihilation

        Extending TMD factorization to thrust-dependent observables entails difficulties ultimately associated with the behavior of soft radiation. As a consequence, the definition of the TMDs has to be revised, while keeping (and extending) its universality properties. Moreover, the regularization of the rapidity divergences intertwines with the thrust dependence, leading to a new kind of factorization theorem, with unexpected features. In this talk, I will show how to properly factorize the thrust distribution of $e^+e^-$ annihilation into a single hadron, whose transverse momentum is measured with respect to the thrust axis. The cross section is presented up to NNLL-accuracy in thrust and compared with BELLE data.

        The Parton Branching method: a Monte Carlo approach based on TMDs

        Soft gluon resummation is essential to obtain precise predictions for QCD processes with more scales involved. The formalism to follow in such scenarios is the Transverse Momentum Dependent factorization theorem. However, for practical applications a Monte Carlo approach is needed. We present the Parton Branching (PB) method- a Monte Carlo approach to obtain QCD collider predictions based on TMDs. We discuss its connection to standard resummation approaches. We present examples of recent PB applications to inclusive and exclusive observables, in the low and hight pt region.

        Adding vector meson production to polarized string fragmentation in Pythia

        Being motivated mainly by the LHC physics, the currently used Monte Carlo Event Generators (MCEGs) lack of the quark spin degree of freedom in their hadronization models, and can not reproduce observed transverse spin effects such as the Collins and the dihadron asymmetries, and longitudinal spin effects such as the jet handedness. To guide the interpretation of SIDIS and $𝑒^+𝑒^−$ data as well as to make predictions for experiments at future facilities such as the EIC, a MCEG capable of reproducing quark spin effects in hadronization is necessary. To achieve this goal, we have started a systematic implementation of spin effects in the hadronization part of the Pythia 8 event generator for the polarized SIDIS process via the external package StringSpinner, which is publicly available. Spin effects are enabled for pseudoscalar meson production by using the string+${}^3P_0$ model of polarized quark fragmentation and parametrizations of the transversity PDFs.
        This talk is dedicated to a recent major development of StringSpinner which allows for the introduction of vector meson production and decay in the polarized Pythia 8 string fragmentation. After being validated, the package is used to simulate the Collins and dihadron asymmetries in SIDIS and a comparison with currently available data is shown.

        Hard Exclusive Reactions at Compass (DVCS and HEMP)

        Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) and Hard Exclusive Meson Production (HEMP) are valuable processes to study Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs). By correlating the longitudinal momentum of the partons to their transverse spatial distribution inside the nucleon, GPDs reveal the 3-dimensional structure of the nucleon in QCD. Following a test run in 2012, exclusive measurements were performed at COMPASS in 2016 and 2017 at the M2 beamline of the CERN SPS. The 160 GeV muon beam impinged on a 2.5m long liquid hydrogen target that was surrounded by a barrel-shaped time-of-fight system to detect the recoiling target proton. The scattered muons and the particles produced were detected by the COMPASS spectrometer, which was supplemented by an additional electromagnetic calorimeter for the large-angle-photon detection.
        The DVCS cross section is extracted from the sum of cross sections measured with opposite beam charge and polarization, with special attention made to separate DVCS from exclusive ?0 production. In the COMPASS kinematic domain, the DVCS cross section is closely related to the GPD H and gives a measure of the transverse extension of the partons in the proton, in the sea-quark regime of Bjorken-x. On the other hand, the measurement of the cross section of exclusive pi0 production and the Spin Density Matrix Elements (SDMEs) of rho0 and omega production can provide important inputs for the understanding of chiral-even and chiral-odd GPDs, as well as insights into the reaction mechanisms involved. The current progress on the study of these exclusive channels will be presented.

        The nucleon structure and the Generalized Parton Distributions

        A key step towards a better understanding of the nucleon structure is the study of Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs). GPDs are nowadays the object of an intense effort of research since they convey an image of the nucleon structure where the longitudinal momentum and the transverse spatial position of the partons inside the nucleon are correlated. Moreover, GPDs give access to the contribution of the orbital momentum of the quarks to the nucleon spin, improtant to the understanding of the origins of the nucleon spin.
        Deeply Virtual Compton scattering (DVCS), the electroproduction of a real photon off the nucleon at the quark level, is the golden process directly interpretable in terms of GPDs of the nucleon. Depending on different arrangements of the target and beam polarizations, different DVCS observable can be measured: cross sections, target- or beam-spin asymmetries, etc... . Each measured observable provides different sensitivity to the various GPDs, and considering both the target nucleons, proton or neutron, the quark-flavour separation of GPDs can be exploited. GPDs can also be accessed in other exclusive leptoproduction reactions, such as Timelike Compton Scattering, Double DVCS (final state photon is also virtual), or the exclusive electroproduction of mesons.
        This talk is intended to provide an overview on recent GPD-related experimental results obtained at Jefferson Lab. These data open the way to a “tomographic” representation of the structure of the nucleon, allowing the extraction of transverse space densities of the quarks at fixed longitudinal momentum, as well as providing an insight on the distribution of forces inside the nucleon.

        Addressing the problem of model dependency in GPD phenomenology

        We discuss the problem of model dependency in the phenomenology of generalised parton distributions (GPDs). We present results of our resent analyses, where we have addressed this problem. This includes the extraction of D-term, which is related to the so-called mechanical properties of the nucleon, and the analysis on the deconvolution of deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) amplitudes. A new way of effectively nonparametric modelling of GPDs based on machine learning techniques will be presented as well. Getting a better grip on the control of systematic effects, our line of research will help GPD phenomenology to achieve its maturity in the precision era commenced by the new generation of experiments.

        GTMDs and Wigner functions: Recent Developments

        Generalized TMDs (GTMDs) of hadrons are the most general two-parton correlation functions. The Fourier transforms of GTMDs are partonic Wigner functions. During the past few years, several interesting developments have taken place in this field. In this talk, we give a brief overview of these objects and the various developments that has taken place, including, in particular, the state-of-the-art of observables for these quantities.

        Gluon TMDs and $J/\psi$ polarization in SIDIS

        We study the polar and azimuthal decay angular distributions of $J/\psi$ mesons produced in semi-inclusive, deep-inelastic electron-proton scattering. For the description of the quarkonium formation mechanism, we adopt the framework of nonrelativistic QCD, with the inclusion of the intermediate color-octet channels that are suppressed at most by a factor $v^4$ in the velocity parameter $v$ relative to the leading color-singlet channel. We put forward factorized expressions for the helicity structure functions in terms of transverse momentum dependent gluon distributions and shape functions, which are valid when the $J/\psi$ transverse momentum is small with respect to the hard scale of the process. By requiring that such expressions correctly match with the collinear factorization results at high transverse momentum, we determine the perturbative tails of the shape functions and find them to be independent of the $J/\psi$ polarization. In particular, we focus on the $cos 2\phi$ azimuthal decay asymmetry, which originates from the distribution of linearly polarized gluons inside an unpolarized proton. We therefore suggest a novel experiment for the extraction of this so-far unknown parton density that could be performed, in principle, at the future Electron-Ion Collider.

        T-odd proton-helicity asymmetry in semi-inclusive DIS in perturbative QCD

        We compute the single-spin asymmetry A_UL in semi-inclusive
        deep-inelastic scattering of unpolarized leptons and longitudinally polarized
        protons at large transverse momentum of the produced hadron. Our calculation is
        performed in collinear factorization at the lowest order of QCD perturbation
        theory. For photon exchange the asymmetry is T-odd and receives contributions
        from the interference of the tree level and one-loop absorptive amplitudes. We
        consider the behavior of the spin asymmetry at low transverse momentum where
        contact to the formalism based on transverse-momentum dependent distribution
        functions can be made. We also present some phenomenological results relevant

        Recent Transverse Spin Measurements from Polarized $pp$ Collisions at STAR

        The STAR Collaboration at RHIC investigates the internal spin structure of the proton with a broad range of measurements in polarized $pp$ collisions. Transverse spin studies aim to elucidate 3D transverse momentum structure and parton transversity. Dijet opening angle measurements are sensitive to the Sivers $\langle k_T \rangle$ and a non-zero spin dependent result in $pp$ collisions is observed for the first time. Individual parton contributions ($u$, $d$, gluon+sea) to the measured $\langle k_T \rangle$ are extracted through a matrix inversion of the charge-sorted $\langle k_T \rangle$ data. Additionally, transverse single-spin asymmetries of fully reconstructed $W^{\pm}$ bosons from $pp$ collisions address the process dependence of the Sivers function; the increased luminosity of 2017 data at $\sqrt{s} = 510$ GeV significantly improves on previous $W^{\pm}$, as well as related $Z$-boson, results. Separately, the transverse spin dependent correlation of charged pion pairs, interference fragmentation functions, are used to probe transversity. Results from $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 200 and 500 GeV with additional integrated luminosity further enhance the first observations of transversity in $pp$ collisions and the constraints that they provide. Finally, the transverse single-spin dependence of the azimuthal modulation of pions in jets probes the Collins function, while additional modulations ("Collins-like" effect) place limits on gluon linear polarization. The current status of these and related analyses (forward $\pi^0$ and forward EM-jet $A_N$), and prospects for their extension in the near future will be presented and discussed.

        Combining nonperturbative models with the CSS formalism

        Phenomenological analyses of hadron structure from semi-inclusive observables require the use of models to characterize nonperturbative effects, embedded into a formalism of TMD evolution. Constraints provided by pQCD calculations must be imposed in order to maximize predictive power. This is particularly important when attempting to use phenomenological extractions over wide scale ranges. In this talk, we will discuss how such constraints are not necessarily guaranteed when using arbitrary parametric forms. By considering the special role of observables at low to moderate scales, we will provide a practical recipe for incorporating nonperturvative models into the CSS formalism. Special attention will also be payed to the role of TMD integral relations in building models optimally embedded into the CSS formula.

        TMD distributions at the next-to-leading power

        The TMD factorization at the next-to-leading power has an involved structure of singularities. I discuss the definition and properties of transverse momentum dependent (TMD) distributions of the twist-three including evolution, symmetry relations, parametrization, interpretation, and singularities. I demonstrate that the physical TMD distributions (in terms of which observables are written) require an extra subtraction procedure. As an example of application, I discuss the Drell-Yan hadronic tensor at the next-to-leading power in terms of physical distributions and explicitly demonstrate the cancellation of rapidity and end-point divergences. These results complete the construction of TMD factorization at the next-to-leading power.

        cos$2\phi$ azimuthal asymmetry in a back-to-back $J/\psi$ and jet electroproduction at the EIC

        We present an estimate of the cos$2\phi$ azimuthal asymmetry in back-to-back production of $J/\psi$ and a jet in the process: $e~p\to e~J/\psi~Jet~X$. We calculate the asymmetry using TMD factorization in a generalized parton model (GPM) framework and use non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) to obtain the $J/\psi$ production rate. We incorporate both color singlet and color octet contributions to the asymmetry. This asymmetry will be useful to probe the linearly polarized gluon distribution at the future electron-ion collider (EIC). We present numerical estimates of the asymmetry using two recent parametrization of the gluon TMDs, namely spectator model and Gaussian parameterization. We investigate the effect of TMD evolution of gluon TMDs on the asymmetry.

        Proof of factorization enabling lattice calculation of TMDs

        Non-perturbative parton distributions that arise in the TMD factorization of cross-sections have dynamics dominated by the lightcone. This renders them inaccessible to direct lattice QCD calculations due to the sign problem in real-time calculations. To circumvent this issue, one may construct a lattice-calculable TMD that shares the same IR physics as the physical TMD appearing in cross-sections, and then must prove a factorization theorem connecting these two functions. In this talk, I prove such a relation for quasi-TMDs and Collins TMDs for leading power distributions of any spin, for both quarks and gluons.

        Recent progress on TMDs and PDFs of spin-1 hadrons

        There was recent theoretical progress on transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) and parton distribution functions (PDFs) for spin-1 hadrons at twists 3 and 4. We expect that the field of structure functions for spin-1 hadrons will become an interesting topic in 2020's and 2030' due to experimental projects at the Jefferson Laboratory, the Fermilab, the NICA, the LHCspin, and the electron-ion colliders in US and China.

        We explain TMDs and PDFs for spin-1 hadrons up to twist 4 [1,2,3]. Decomposing a quark correlation function with the conditions of the Hermiticity and parity invariance, we found 30 new structure functions at twists 3 and 4 [1]. There are also new fragmentation functions in the spin-1 hadrons. Integrating the TMDs over the transverse momentum, we found new collinear PDFs. A twist-2 relation and a sum rule exist for the tensor-polarized PDFs $f_{1LL}$ and $f_{LT}$ [2]. In these studies, we also showed that twist-3 multiparton distribution functions $F_{LT}$, $G_{LT}$, $H_{LL}^\perp$, and $H_{TT}$ exist for tensor-polarized spin-1 hadrons. Relations among these collinear parton- and multiparton-distribution functions were derived by using the equation of motion for quarks [3]. Useful relations were obtained (1) for the twist-3 PDF $f_{LT}$, the trasverse-momentum moment PDF $f_{1LT}^{\,(1)}$, and the multiparton distribution functions $F_{G,LT}$ and $G_{G,LT}$; (2) for the twist-3 PDF $e_{LL}$, the twist-2 PDF $f_{1LL}$, and the multiparton distribution function $H_{G,LL}^\perp$. There is also a Lorentz-invariance relation for $f_{1LT}^{\,(1)}$, $f_{1LL}$, $f_{LT}$, and $F_{G,LT}$. These studies will be useful in future investigations on the spin-1 structure functions.

        Recent results from COMPASS Drell-Yan program

        The investigation of the nucleon spin structure via measurements of dimuons produced in the Drell-Yan process is one of the main goals of the phase-II research program of the COMPASS experiment (M2 beamline, SPS, CERN).
        In 2015 and 2018, COMPASS performed Drell-Yan measurements using a 190 GeV/c $\pi^-$ beam impinging on a transversely polarized NH$_3$ target and on an unpolarized tungsten target. The measurement of the Sivers and other transverse-spin dependent azimuthal asymmetries in Drell-Yan provides a unique opportunity to test the QCD predicted (pseudo-)universality features of related transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions. The angular coefficients $\lambda$, $\mu$ and $\nu$ that characterize the unpolarized Drell-Yan cross-section were also extracted from the data collected using the tungsten target. The results of this analysis provide input to study various perturbative and non-perturbative QCD effects.
        In this talk, recent Drell-Yan results from COMPASS will be presented along with prospects for ongoing studies.

        Investigation of Transverse-Momentum Distributions at HERMES

        After fifty years of investigations, the nucleon structure is still far from being understood and continues to represent a unique test bench for QCD. Despite the enormous progresses achieved in five decades of deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) experiments, a number of crucial open questions are still on the carpet and subject of intense theoretical and experimental studies. In the last two decades, semi-inclusive DIS was established as a unique tool for the study of the non-collinear structure of nucleons, involving the parton transverse momentum pT as an additional degree of freedom. Requiring the detection of at least one final state-hadron in coincidence with the scattered lepton, it opened the way not only to measure of the chiral-odd transversity distribution, the last missing leading-twist collinear parton distribution function, but also to a variety of new pT-dependent PDFs, known as TMDs. Describing correlations between the quark transverse momentum and the quark or the nucleon spin (spin-orbit correlations), TMDs account for a number of intriguing effects observed in polarized and unpolarized reactions, and allow for a 3-dimensional description of the nucleon in momentum space. Furthermore, they could provide insights into the yet unmeasured quark orbital angular momentum. At leading-twist, eight TMDs enter the SIDIS cross section in conjunction with a fragmentation function. In addition, going to the twist-3 level allows us to probe novel quark-gluon correlations.
        The HERMES experiment collected a wealth of data using the 27.6 GeV polarized HERA lepton beam and various polarized and unpolarized gaseous targets. This allows for a series of unique measurements of observables sensitive to this multidimensional (spin) structure of the nucleon, probed through specific azimuthal modulations in the distribution of hadrons produced in semi-inclusive DIS. An overview of the HERMES TMD program will be given and Fourier amplitudes of some of the azimuthal modulations sensitive to the beam and/or target polarization, recently extracted for the first time also in a three-dimensional kinematic space, will be presented in more detail.

        Leading order formalism for spin and transverse momenta dependent fracture functions

        Fracture functions describes the hadron production in the target fragmentation region (TFR) in the hard processes, namely -- the spin and transverse momentum dependent correlations between struck parton in the target and produced hadron in TFR.
        In this talk I'll shortly describe the formalism and present the theoretical results for SIDIS and Drell-Yan processes.
        New experimental results on double back-to-back hadron production in SIDIS will be also presented.
