Quarkonium production at a given large p_T is dominated by parton fragmentation: a parton which is produced with transverse momentum p_T/z fragments into a quarkonium state which carries a fraction z of the parton momentum. Since parton…
We compute the structure function $g_2$ for a gluon target in perturbative QCD at order $\as$. We show that its first moment vanishes, as predicted by the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule.
