Three-gluon contribution to the single spin asymmetry for light hadron production in pp collision

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-18 v1

Abstract

We study the twist-3 three-gluon contribution to the single spin asymmetry in the light-hadron production in pp collision in the framework of the collinear factorization. We derive the corresponding cross section formula in the leading order with respect to the QCD coupling constant. We also present a numerical calculation of the asymmetry at the RHIC energy, using a model for the three-gluon correlation functions suggested by the asymmetry observed in the DD-meson production at RHIC.
