Twist-4 contributions to the azimuthal asymmetry in SIDIS
Abstract
We calculate the differential cross section for the unpolarized semi-inclusive deeply inelastic scattering (SIDIS) process in leading order (LO) of perturbative QCD and up to twist-4 in power corrections and study in particular the azimuthal asymmetry . The final results are expressed in terms of transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton matrix elements of the target nucleon up to twist-4. %Under the maximal two-gluon correlation approximation, these TMD parton matrix elements in a nucleus %can be expressed terms of a Gaussian convolution of that in a nucleon with the width given by the jet transport %parameter inside cold nuclei. We also apply it to and illustrate numerically the nuclear dependence of the azimuthal asymmetry by using a Gaussian ansatz for the TMD parton matrix elements.
