The (electromagnetic or weak) current operator responsible for deep inelastic scattering (DIS) should be local and satisfy the well-known commutation relations with the representation operators of the Poincare group. The problem whether…

We re-examine our previous calculation on the Collins effect in semi-inclusive deeply inelastic scattering (SIDIS) process with a $^3$He target, and find that our previous treatment on the dilution factors may cause the results larger than…
We study deep-inelastic scattering factorization on a nucleon in the end-point regime $x_B \sim 1-{\cal O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD}/Q)$ where the traditional operator product expansion is supposed to fail. We argue, nevertheless, that the standard…
Semi-inclusive hadron production in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering (SIDIS) provides important probes of parton distributions and fragmentation functions. We compute the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) massless QCD corrections…
The Sivers parton distribution has been predicted to obey a particular ``universality relation'', namely to have opposite sign in semi-inclusive deeply inelastic scattering (SIDIS) and the Drell-Yan process. We discuss how, on the basis of…
