Twist-Four Distributions in a Transversely-Polarized Nucleon and the Drell-Yan Process

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

The twist-four quark and gluon distributions in a transversely polarized nucleon are identified and relations among them are discussed by using QCD equations of motion. Their contribution, at the order of O(1/Q2){\cal O} \left( 1/Q^2 \right), to the Drell-Yan cross section in transversely polarized nucleon-nucleon collisions is calculated.
