In valence approximation the fermion correlator is simply related to the light-front spectral function. Then the leading twist time-reversal even transverse momentum distributions can be explicitly obtained from the light-front wave…
The higher twist T-even transverse momentum dependent distribution (TMD) $h_3(x, {\bf p_\perp^2})$ for the proton has been examined in the light-front quark-diquark model (LFQDM). By deciphering the unintegrated quark-quark correlator for…
We investigate the twist three distribution function $e(x)$ in light-front Hamiltonian perturbation theory. In light-front gauge, by eliminating the constrained field, we find a mass term, an intrinsic transverse momentum dependent term and…
The relativistic light-front (LF) wave function of $^3$He is determined by the three-body LF equation for the Faddeev components in the momentum space. As an interaction, we take the one-meson exchange kernels, without the potential…

It is shown that the azimuthal dependence of the distribution of hadrons in a quark jet is a probe of the transverse spin of the quark initiating the jet. This results in a new spin-dependent fragmentation function that acts at the twist-2…
We calculate the twist three distribution f_\perp(x,k^\perp) contributing to Cahn effect in unpolarized semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. We use light-front Hamiltonian technique and take the state to be a dressed quark at one loop…
We investigate one-particle semi-inclusive processes in lepton-hadron scattering. In unpolarized scattering order $Q^{-1}$ corrections appear only when transverse momenta are detected. We consider the twist two and three matrix elements and…
The process $\overrightarrow{^3{\rm He}}(e,e'\vec{p})d $ (or $\overrightarrow{^3{\rm He}}(e,e'\vec{d})p $) is studied theoretically in a Faddeev treatment with the aim to have access to the spin-dependent momentum distribution of ${\vec p}…
In this thesis, we have investigated the higher twist structure functions in the recently developed method based on light-front Hamiltonian QCD. Because of various special properties of light-front QCD, this is a more intuitive approach…
We study the transverse polarization of hyperons produced in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, $ep\to e\Lambda^\uparrow X$, in the framework of the collinear twist-3 factorization. The cross section from the twist-3 distribution…
We discuss the recent interpretation of quark-distribution functions in the plane transverse to the light-cone direction. Such a mapping is model independent and allows one to build up multidimensional pictures of the hadron and to develop…
We revisit the standard analysis of inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering off nucleons taking into account the fact that on-shell quarks cannot be present in the final state, but they rather decay into hadrons - a process that can be…
The spectral functions and light-cone momentum distributions of protons and neutrons in 3He and 3H are given in terms of the three-nucleon wave function for realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions. To reduce computational complexity,…
We investigate the behavior under Lorentz tranformations of perturbative coefficient functions in a collinear twist-3 formalism relevant for high-energy observables including transverse polarization of hadrons. We argue that those…
The non-valence spin-flavor structure of the nucleon extracted from semi-inclusive measurements of polarized deep inelastic scattering depends strongly on the transverse momentum of the detected hadrons which are used to determine the…
Higher-twist transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) are a valuable probe of the quark-gluon dynamics in the nucleon, and play a vital role for the explanation of sizable azimuthal asymmetries in hadron production…
The single spin asymmetries for a longitudinally polarized lepton beam or a longitudinally polarized nucleon target in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering are twist-3 observables. We study these asymmetries in a simple diquark…
Light-front Hamiltonian dynamics is used to relate low-energy constituent quark models to deep inelastic unpolarized structure functions of the nucleon. The approach incorporates the correct Pauli principle prescription consistently and it…
