Abstract

We compute the contribution of twist-2 and twist-3 parton distribution functions to the small-bb expansion for transverse momentum dependent (TMD) distributions at all powers of bb. The computation is done by the twist-decomposition method based on the spinor formalism for all eight quark TMD distributions. The newly computed terms are accompanied by the prefactor (M2b2)n(M^2b^2)^n and represent the target-mass corrections to the resummed cross-section. For the first time, a non-trivial expression for the pretzelosity distribution is derived.
