Abstract
We summarize the intuitive connection between deformations of parton distributions in impact parameter space and single-spin asymmetries. Lattice results for the -moment of the twist-3 polarized parton distribution are used to estimate the average transverse force acting on the active quark in SIDIS in the instant after being struck by the virtual photon.
