QCD Evolution of the Transverse Momentum Dependent Correlations

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-07-09 v1

Abstract

We study the QCD evolution for the twist-three quark-gluon correlation functions associated with the transverse momentum odd quark distributions. Different from that for the leading twist quark distributions, these evolution equations involve more general twist-three functions beyond the correlation functions themselves. They provide important information on nucleon structure, and can be studied in the semi-inclusive hadron production in deep inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan lepton pair production in pppp scattering process.
