Abstract
QCD is the theory underlying the strong interactions and the structure of hadrons. The properties of hadrons and their response in scattering processes provide in principle a large number of observables. For comparison with theory (lattice calculations or models), it is convenient if these observables can be identified with well-defined correlators, hadronic matrix elements that involve only one hadron and known local or nonlocal combinations of quark and gluon operators. Well-known examples are static properties, such as mass or charge, form factors and parton distribution and fragmentation functions. For the partonic structure, accessible in high-energy (hard) scattering processes, a lot of information can be obtained, in particular if one finds ways to probe the ‘transverse structure’ (momenta and spins) of partons. Relevant scattering experiments to extract such correlations usually require polarized beams and targets and measurements of azimuthal asymmetries. Among these, single spin asymmetries are special because of their particular time-reversal behavior. The strength of single spin asymmetries depends on the flow of color in the hard scattering process, which affects the nonlocal structure of quark and gluon field operators in the correlators.

Towards the quarks themselves
• The current provides the densities but only in specific combinations, e.g. quarks minus antiquarks and only flavor weighted
• No information about their correlations, (effectively) pions, or …
• Can we go beyond these global observables (which correspond to local operators)?
• Yes, in high energy (semi-)inclusive measurements we will have access to non-local operators!
• LQCD (quarks, gluons) known!

QCD & Standard Model
• QCD framework (including electroweak theory) provides the machinery to calculate cross sections, e.g. *q q, qq *, * qq, qq qq, qg qg, etc.
• E.g. qg qg
• Calculations work for plane waves

Confinement in QCD
• Confinement limits us to hadrons as ‘quark sources’ or ‘targets’
• These involve nucleon states• At high energies interference terms between different hadrons
disappear as 1/P1.P2
• Thus, the theoretical description/calculation involves for hard processes, a forward matrix element of the form

Intrinsic transverse momenta
• Hard processes: Sudakov decomposition for momenta:
p = xPH + pT + n
• zero: pT.PH = n2 = pT.n
large: PH.n ~ s
hadronic: pT2 ~ PH
2 = MH2
small: ~ (p.PH,p2,MH2)/s
• Parton virtuality enters in and is integrated out Hq(x,pT) describing quark distributions
• Integrating pT collinear Hq(x)
• Lightlike vector n enters in (x,pT), but is irrelevant in cross sections

A transverse spin rule
• One can write down a ‘transverse spin’ sum rule• It was first discussed by Teryaev and Ratcliffe, but
it involves the twist-3 funtion gT=g1+g2
(Burkhardt-Cottingham sumrule)• … and a similar gluon sumrule
• It does not involve the ‘transverse spin’. This appears in the Bakker-Leader-Trueman sumrule (which involves the assumption of having ‘free’ quarks).

Issues
• Knowledge of partonic structure can be extended by looking at the ‘transverse structure’
• Time reversal invariance provides a nice discriminator for ‘special effects’
• Example is the color flow in hard processes, which is reflected in the nonlocal structure of matrix elements and shows up in single spin asymmetries
• Single spin asymmetries are being measured (HERMES@DESY, JLAB, COMPASS@CERN, KEK, RHIC@Brookhaven)

The partonic structure of hadrons
The cross section can be expressed in hard squared QCD-amplitudes and distribution and fragmentation functions entering in forward matrix elements of nonlocal combinations of quark and gluon field operators ( or G)

• Matrix elements involving parton 1 and additional gluon(s) A+ = A.n appear at same (leading) order in ‘twist’ expansion

It is also possible to group the TMD functions in a smart way into two!(nontrivial for nine diagrams/four color-flow possibilities)
But still no factorization!
Transverse momentum dependent collinear

‘Residual’ TMDs
• We find that we can work with basic TMD functions [±](x,pT) + ‘junk’• The ‘junk’ constitutes process-dependent residual TMDs
• The residuals satisfies int (x) = 0 and int G(x,x) = 0, i.e. cancelling kT contributions; moreover they most likely disappear for large kT

Conclusions
• Appearance of single spin asymmetries in hard processes is calculable
• For integrated and weighted functions factorization is possible
• For TMDs one cannot factorize cross sections, introducing besides the normal ‘partonic cross sections’ some ‘gluonic pole cross sections’
• Opportunities: the breaking of universality can be made explicit and be attributed to specific matrix elements
