In these lectures I want to discuss how the structure functions in deep inelastic scattering relate to quark and gluon correlation functions. In particular we will consider the issue of intrinsic transverse momenta of quarks, which becomes…
The constituent quarks are interpreted as bound states, which have an internal structure. The quark distributions of the proton are related to those of the constituent quarks. The experiments support this hypothesis. Likewise the spin…
We present the systematic results for three dimensional fragmentation functions of spin one hadrons defined via quark-quark correlator. There are totally 72 such fragmentation functions, among them 18 are twist-2, 36 are twist-3 and 18 are…
We review the theory of polarized structure functions measured in deep-inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering, focusing on the most recent developments. We concentrate on the structure function $g_1$, emphasizing the phenomenological problems…
We suggest a method of constructing gauge invariant quark and gluon distributions that describe an abstract QCD observable and apply this method to analyze angular momentum of a hadron. In addition to the known quark and gluon polarized…
Spin-1 hadrons contain different aspects of spin physics from the ones of the spin-1/2 nucleon because of the existence of tensor-polarized structure functions. In the charged-lepton deep inelastic scattering from a spin-1 hadron or…
We show that the first moment of the spin-dependent structure function $g_1^{\gamma}(x,Q^2)$ of a real photon vanishes independent of the momentum transfer $Q^2$ it is probed with. This result is non-perturbative: it holds to all orders in…
Quark distribution and spectator functions are estimated in a diquark spectator model. The representation of the functions in terms of non-local operators together with the rather simple model allow estimates for the yet experimentally…
Color confinement and chiral symmetry specify some important territory for the study of hadronic physics. Any hadron can be defined as a color-singlet composite system of qurks and gluons, the fundamental fields of qcd, while the landscape…
We review the nucleon's twist-3 polarized structure functions from the viewpoint of gauge invariant, nonlocal light-cone operators in QCD. We discuss a systematic treatment of the polarized structure functions and the corresponding parton…
The interplay of spins and orbital angular moments of the fermions play an important role for the structure of the many-fermion systems like atoms, nuclei, nucleons (baryons) or mesons. We start our study from the one-fermion eigenstates of…
We perform perturbative QCD factorization of infrared radiations associated with an energetic $b$ quark from a polarized top quark decay, taking the semi-leptonic channel as an example. The resultant formula is expressed as a convolution of…
Pion structure functions are considered in the framework of QCD sum rules at the next to leading order. The 2-loop diargam, representing the gluon exchange between the struck quark and spectator, is calculated for space-like pion momentum…
A set of exactly computable orthonormal basis functions that are useful in computations involving constituent quarks is presented. These basis functions are distinguished by the property that they fall off algebraically in momentum space…
Based on a simple model which is compatible with the idea of the static quark model and the parton model, the polarized structure functions of proton and deuteron, two-spin asymmetries of $\pi ^0$ in polarized $pp$ reactions and inelastic…
Evolution of structure functions is studied in a chiral potential model which incorporates the pion as the chiral symmetry restoring field. Evolution equations for the quark and pion densities are derived in the lowest order at large $Q^2$.…
The class of interference fragmentation functions, arising from interference among different hadron production channels, is reconsidered. Their symmetry properties with respect to chiral transformations allow building spin asymmetries where…
For paraxial and non-paraxial light, numerous measures of electromagnetic attribute are expressible in terms of photon annihilation and creation. Accordingly, energy, angular momentum and chirality measures acquire a consistent…
We outline the basic properties of a pertubative QCD factorization formalism that maintains exact over-all kinematics in both the initial and final states. Such a treatment requires the use of non-perturbative factors that depend on all…
Fracture functions, originally suggested to describe the production of diffractive and leading hadrons in semi-inclusive DIS, may be also applied at fixed target energies. They may also include interference and final state interaction,…
