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 carry out the first calculation for the twist-3 gluon contribution to the single transverse-spin asymmetry(SSA) in $J/\psi$ production in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. Our result shows that the $J/\psi$ SSA is an ideal…

In the present paper we summarize our results on the structure function g_1 and present explicit expressions for the non-singlet and singlet components of g_1 which can be used at arbitrary x and Q^2. These expressions combine the…
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…
A group theoretical procedure, introduced earlier (hep-th/9901090), to decompose bilocal light-ray operators into (harmonic) operators of definite twist is applied to the case of arbitrary 2nd rank tensors. As a generic example the bilocal…
We present a calculation of the twist-3 T-odd chiral-even fragmentation functions $G^{\perp}$ and $\tilde{G}^{\perp}$ using a spectator model. We consider the effect gluon exchange to calculate all necessary one-loop diagrams for the…
The twist-3 transverse spin--dependent nucleon structure function $g_2$ arises in high-energy processes involving a transversely polarized nucleon. Its connection to quark--gluon correlations allows for an interpretation in terms of the…
We study the contribution of the twist-3 fragmentation function to the single-transverse spin asymmetry in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering within the framework of the collinear factorization. Making use of the Ward-Takahashi…
Available analyses on moments of the spin structure function g_1 use different methods and are barely consistent with each other. We present a higher twist analysis of Gamma_1^p using a method consistent with the studies of Gamma_1^n and…
We study the orbital angular momentum contribution to the spin structure of the proton. It is well known that the quark and gluon spin contributions do not add up to the proton spin. We motivate the connection between the Generalized…
We have measured the spin structure functions g2p and g2d and the virtual photon asymmetries A2p and A2d over the kinematic range 0.02 < x < 0.8 and 0.7 < Q^2 < 20 GeV^2 by scattering 29.1 and 32.3 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons…
The neutron spin structure function, $g_{1n}$, has been of considerable interest recently in connection with the Bjorken sum rule and the proton spin crisis. Work on this problem has concentrated on measurements at low-$x$. We recall the…
I discuss a few interpolating sum rules for spin structure functions of the nucleon. Using the concept of duality, I argue that the $G_1$ sum rule, including the elastic contribution, is useful for learning higher twist matrix elements of…
In a nonstandard way we split up the polarized quark distributions $g_T$ and $h_L$ into their twist-two, quark-mass, and interaction-dependent parts, emphasizing the sensitivity to quark intrinsic transverse momentum. We show how to derive…
We study the chiral-odd transversity spin-dependent quark distribution function $h_1 (x)$ of the nucleon in a constituent quark model. The twist-2 structure functions, $f_1(x)$, $g_1(x)$ and $h_1(x)$ are calculated within the diquark…
Using \chiQM with configuration mixing, the contribution of the gluon polarization to the flavor singlet component of the total spin has been calculated phenomenologically through the relation…
We estimate in the QCD sum rule approach the amount of the nucleon spin carried by the gluon angular momentum: the sum of the gluon spin and orbital angular momenta. The result indicates that gluons contribute at least one half of the…
We address the problem of solution of the QCD three-particle evolution equations which govern the Q-dependence of the chiral-even quark-gluon-quark and three-gluon correlators contributing to a number of asymmetries at leading order and the…
Gluon production on two scattering centers is studied in the formalism of reggeized gluons. Different contributions to the inclusive cross-section are derived with the help of the Lipatov effective action. The AGK relations between these…
