Outline
SCET (soft collinear effective theory) is an effective theory of QCD
SCET describes interactions between low energy ,”soft” partonic fields and collinear fields (very energetic in one light-cone direction)
SCET and QCD have the same infrared structure: matching is possible
SCET helps in the proof of factorization theorems and identification of relevant scales

OR with zero-bin Subtraction!!

Where does the T-Wilson Line come from?
Is there a way to understand the T-Wilson lines from the SCET Lagrangian?
An example, the quark form factor: from QCD to SCET in LCG
The T-Wilson line is born naturally in One loop matching.

Collinear Anomaly
Notice That The Cross-Section Is Independent Of The Renormalization Scale (RG Invariance).
For Vanishing Soft Function, The Product Of Two TMDPDFs Has to Be Logarithmically Dependent On The Renormalization Scale. This is Impossible Unless There Is Anomaly.
Also (Up To Three Loop Calculation!)
Origin Of Collinear AnomalyIn The Absence Of Soft Interactions Different Collinear
Sectors Do Not Interact So There Is No Way To Generate The Q-Dependence
Classically Each Collinear Lagrangian Is Invariant Under Rescaling of Collinear Momentum.
For TMDPDF Quantum Loop Effects Needs RegulationThen Classical Invariance Is Lost However The Q-Dependence Is Obtained
The TMDPDF Is Ill-Defined And We need To Introduce New Set Of NP Matrix Elements

Re-factorization Into The Standard PDF
•Application To Heavy-Ion Physics
D´Eramo, Liu, Rajagopal
In LC Gauge The Above Quantity Is Meaningless. If We Add To It The T-Wilson line Then We Get A Gauge Invariant Physical Entity.
Conclusions
The usual SCET building blocks have to be modified introducing a New Gauge Link, the T-Wilson line.Using the new formalism we get gauge invariant definitions of non-perturbative matrix elements. In particular the T is compulsory for matrix elements of fields separated in the transverse direction. These matrix elements are relevant in semi-inclusive cross sections or transverse momentum dependent ones.It is possible that the use of LC gauge helps in
the proofs of factorization. The inclusion of T is so fundamental. Work in progress in this direction.
Conclusions
It is definetely possible to understand the origin of T-Wilson lines in a Lagrangian framework for EFT.
Every sector of the SCET can be appropriately written in LCG.
The LCG has peculiar property for loop calculation and can avoid the introduction of new ad-hoc regulators
There is a rich phenomenology to be studied… so a lot of work in progress!! THANKS!
