A dominant QCD mechanism for the single transverse-spin asymmetry in hard processes is induced by the twist-3 quark-gluon correlations inside nucleon, combined with the soft-gluonic poles to produce the interfering phase for the associated…
Evaluating two-loop integrals in the transverse momentum space we obtain the trajectory of the Reggeized gluon in QCD in an explicit form in the two-loop approximation. It is presented as an expansion in powers of $(D-4)$ for the space-time…
