Francesco
The scalar diquark couples only to longitudinally polarized photons and gives contribution to the structure function FL. This leads to a violationof the Callan–Gross relation, but leaves unchanged the (leading-order) interpretation of the structure function FT as a charge-weighted sum of quark distribution functions. This seems the best way to reduce the phenomenologicalimpact of the problem represented by the presence of the diquarks. For the vector diquark, we checked that the same situation occurs when only the light-cone transverse polarization states of the diquark are propagated, i.e., when theLC gauge for the polarization sum is used. In the other cases, the diquark would give a contribution also to the structure function FT . On top of this, we remark that the Feynman gauge for the polarization sumintroduces unphysical polarization states of the vector diquark.

Francesco
we observe that in our model the average quark transverse momentum decreases as x increases, and that down quarks on average carry less transverse momentum than up quarks. Although this is just a model result, a general message can be derived: the widely used assumption of a flavor-independent quark transverse momentum distribution is already falsified in a relatively simple model.
Francesco
First of all, we observe that f_1^u displays a non-monotonic behavior at x ≤ 0.02. This is due to the contribution from LCWFs with nonzero orbital angular momentum. Although the details of where and how this feature occurs is model-dependent, it is generally true that the contribution of LCWFs with one unit of orbital angular momentum falls linearly with p_T^2for p_T^2 → 0. This behavior is sharply different from the contribution of LCWFs with no orbitalangular momentum. This simple example shows how the study of the p_T^2 dependence of unpolarized TMDs can therefore already expose some effects due to orbital angular momentum.
Francesco
The effect of orbital angular momentum becomes even more evident when considering the p_T^2 behavior of the helicity distribution function. As an illustration, we show in the behavior of the combinations f1(x, p_T^2 ) − g1(x, p_T^2 )and f1(x, p_T^2 ) + g1(x, p_T^2 ). In the case of the scalar diquark, LCWFs with one unit of orbital angular momentum are filtered by the first combination. In the case of the vector diquark, the situation is opposite. The down quarkdistribution is entirely given by the vector diquark, therefore the f1(x, p_T^2 )+g1(x,p_T^2 ) sum clearly turns down to zero for p_T^2 →0. For the up quark, the situation is less clear due to the simultaneous presence of scalar and vector diquark contributions. However, at x = 0.02 the vector diquark is responsible for the nontrivial shape of f1(x, p_T^2 )+g1(x, p_T^2 ).

The model is in reasonable agreement with the parametrization, with the maxima in the correct position and a somewhat too small result for the up quark at small x. It should also be kept in mind that the present data reach at most x ≈ 0.4 and, moreover, the ansatz of Ref. [71] does notallow for a sign change.
Francesco
Again, there is a reasonable agreement between model predictions and parametrizations but for the trend of the result for the up quark at |pT | > 0.3 GeV/c. However, we stress thatthe comparison may be affected by the different scale of the model results (Q2 = 0.3 GeV2) and the one at which the parametrizations are extracted (Q2 = 2.5 GeV2). The proper evolution of the TMDs has not been considered yet. It is interesting to point out that in our model hu1(x, p_T^2 ) changes sign at pT ∼ 0.5 GeV. This is due to the fact that the vector diquark contribution is always negative and dominant at high pT . For the down quark, we note thathd1(x, 0) = 0, because the vector-diquark contribution to h1 is entirely given by LCWFs with nonvanishing orbital angular momentum.

Francesco
At tree level, the expressions for the Sivers and Boer-Mulders functions vanish because there is no residual interaction between the active quark and the spectators; equivalently, there is no interference between two competing channels producing the complex amplitude whoseimaginary part gives the T-odd contribution. We can generate such structures by considering the interference between the tree-level scattering amplitude and the single-gluon-exchange scattering amplitude in eikonal approximation, asshown in Fig. 3 (the Hermitean conjugate partner must also be considered). This corresponds just to the leading-twist one-gluon-exchange approximation of the gauge link operator.

Francesco
The Sivers and Boer-Mulders functions obtained in our model behave as 1/pT^6 at high pT^2, similarly to the f1. As observed also in Ref. [59], this leads to a breaking of the positivity bounds [8] for sufficiently high values of pT^2. This problem is due to the fact that the T-odd functions have been calculated at order alpha_s^1, while the T-even functions at order alpha_s^0. At high pT^2, QCD radiative corrections generate a 1/pT^2 tail for f1 and a 1/pT^4 tail for the Sivers function [11]. Our model is supposed to be valid for pT^2 of order M^2, and for reasonable choices of the parameters no problems with positivity occurr in this region.

we observe the agreement between the signs of the various flavor components, which also agree with the findings from calculations on the lattice . Also the maxima are reached at approximately the same x = 0.3 as the parametrizations. Instead, the “strength” of the asymmetry (related to the modulus of each moment) is too much weaker for the down quark, while it seems reasonable for the up one. Again, it must be stressed that no evolution was applied in the displayed model results.

Origin of T- odd structures

Page 28: Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) Parton Distribution Functions in a Spectator Diquark Model

Naive T-odd Fragmentation Functions (e. g. Collins function) are easier to justify, because the required relative phases can be generated by Final State Interactions (FSI) between leading hadron and jets, dinamically distinguishing initial and final states.

But is there a real Time ReversalTime Reversal invariance violationviolation?

Sivers and Boer-Mulders functions are associated with coefficients involving 3 (pseudo)vectors, thus changing sign under time axis orientation reversal. This operation alone is defined Naive Time Reversal. In this sense we speak about Naive T-Naive T-oddodd distributions!

Altough QCD Lagrangian contains terms that would allow it, experimentally there is no evidence ofCP- (and hence T-) violation in the strong sector (no neutron e.d.m.)

Nevertheless, Time Reversal operation in general also requires an exchange between initial and final statesexchange between initial and final states!!

If such an operation turns out not to be trivial, due to the presence of complex phases in the SS matrix elements, there could be Naive T-odd spin effects( ) in a theory which in general shows CP- and hence T-invariance ( )!
