We investigate the renormalization of the twist-3 operators which are relevant for the spin-dependent structure function $g_{2}(x, Q^{2})$. We derive the anomalous dimension for the non-singlet part by calculating the off-shell Green's…
We present our results for the twist-3 gluon contribution to the single transverse-spin asymmetry(SSA) in $J/\psi$ production in proton-proton collisions. Although the data were reported by the RHIC experiment more than a decade ago, a…

We extend the analysis of two-hadron fragmentation functions to the subleading twist, discussing also the issue of color gauge invariance. Our results can be used anywhere two unpolarized hadrons are semi-inclusively produced in the same…

While twist-2 GPDs allow for a determination of the distribution of partons on the transverse plane, twist-3 GPDs contain quark-gluon correlations that provide information about the average transverse color Lorentz force acting on quarks.…

The hadronization of a high-energy parton is described by fragmentation functions which are introduced through QCD factorizations. While the hadronization mechanism per se remains uknown, fragmentation functions can still be investigated…
We compute the contribution from the twist-3 fragmentation function for light hadron production in collisions between transversely and longitudinally polarized protons, i.e., $p^\uparrow \vec{p} \to h\,X$, which can cause a double-spin…
We compute structure functions for the Drell--Yan process in proton-proton collisions at the center of mass energy $\sqrt{S} = 8 \mathrm{TeV}$ both parity conserving and parity breaking. For this calculation, we use the high-energy…
The transverse component of the axial-vector correlation function of quark fields is a natural starting object for lattice calculations of twist-3 nucleon parton distribution functions. In this work we derive the corresponding factorization…
A new class of fragmentation functions, arising from the interference of different hadron production channels, is analyzed. Their symmetry properties with respect to naive time-reversal transformations allow for the exploration of…

The definitions of the quark and gluon transversity generalized parton distributions (GPDs) in spin-3/2 particles are obtained in the light-cone gauge. It is found that they contain 16 independent components for each parton. Their even or…
