The Sivers function is extracted from HERMES data on single spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive deeply inelastic scattering. Our analysis use a simple Gaussian model for the distribution of transverse parton momenta, together with the flavor…

The non-vanishing of naive T-odd parton distributions function can be explained by the existence of the gauge link which emerges from the factorized description of the deep inelastic scattering cross section into perturbatively calculable…
The physics of hadron single transverse spin asymmetries is discussed. Possible measurements of both the quark and gluon Sivers functions are proposed.
We analyze the instanton transitions in the framework of the gauge invariant variational calculation in the pure Yang-Mills theory. Instantons are identified with the saddle points in the integration over the gauge group which projects the…
We present the formalism for a new generation of unquenched quark models for baryons in which the effects of quark-antiquark pairs (u anti-u, d anti-d and s anti-s) are taken into account in an explicit form via a microscopic, QCD-inspired,…
We investigate the magnetic susceptibility of the QCD vacuum, based on the instanton vacuum. Starting from the instanton liquid model for the instanton vacuum, we derive the light-quark partition function $Z[V,T,\hat{m}]$ in the presence of…
The Sivers mechanism for the single-spin asymmetry in unpolarized lepton scattering from a transversely polarized nucleon is driven by the orbital angular momentum carried by its quark and gluon constituents, combined with QCD final-state…

The spinless Salpeter equation supplemented by an instanton induced force is used to describe the spectra of light mesons, including the pseudoscalar ones. The coupling constants of the instanton induced potential, as well as the quark…
We study baryon and diquark correlation functions in the framework of an instanton model for the QCD vacuum. The model naturally accomodates a light scalar diquark. As a consequence, the correlation functions for the nucleon and delta are…
Single spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering off transversely polarized nucleon targets have been under intense experimental investigation over the past few years. They provide new insights into QCD and the nucleon…
We disscuss a new nonperturbative mechanism for spin effects in high energy reactions with hadrons. This mechanism is based on the existence of a large anomalous quark chromomagnetic moment (AQCM) induced by the nontrivial topological…
Using the covariant spectator theory (CST), we present the results of a valence quark-diquark model calculation of the nucleon structure function f(x) measured in unpolarized deep inelastic scattering (DIS), and the structure functions…

In supersymmetric QCD with SU(N_c) gauge group and N_f flavors, it is known that instantons generate a superpotential if N_f=N_c-1 and deform the moduli space of vacua if N_f=N_c. But the role of instantons has been unclear for N_f>N_c. In…
We report progresses on leading-twist transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) gluon distributions, calculated in a spectator-model framework for the parent nucleon. We encode in our formalism a fit-based parameterization for the spectator-mass…
