Hadronic Dijet Imbalance and Transverse-Momentum Dependent Parton Distributions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We compare several recent theoretical studies of the single transverse spin asymmetry in dijet-correlations at hadron colliders. We show that the results of these studies are all consistent. To establish this, we investigate in particular the two-gluon exchange contributions to the relevant initial and final state interactions in the context of a simplifying model. Overall, the results confirm that the dijet imbalance obeys at best a non-standard or "generalized" transverse-momentum-dependent factorization.
