Abstract

We study the longitudinal beam single-spin asymmetry ALUsinϕRA_{LU}^{\sin \phi_R} of dihadron production in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering process with a polarized electron beam scattering off an unpolarized proton target. The asymmetry arises from the convolutions of twist-3 PDF e(x)e(x) and twist-2 DiFF H1H_1^\sphericalangle as well as twist-2 PDF f1(x)f_1(x) and twist-3 DiFF G~\widetilde{G}^{\sphericalangle}. Using the spectator model calculations for the twist-3 PDF e(x)e(x), the DiFFs D1,H1D_1 , H_1^\sphericalangle, and G~\widetilde{G}^{\sphericalangle}, we estimate the BSA ALUsinϕRA^{\sin \phi_R}_{LU} at the kinematical configuration of CLAS and CLAS12. We find good agreement with zz- and MhM_h-dependencies data, though xx- and Q2Q^2- dependencies show discrepancies. We include DGLAP evolution of e(x)e(x) and provide predictions for COMPASS, EIC, and EicC. The negligible contribution from f1(x)G~f_1(x) \otimes \widetilde{G}^{\sphericalangle} supports the Wandzura-Wilczek approximation, while our results highlight the importance of QCD evolution in twist-3 PDF analyses.
