Abstract
The interaction dependent part of the -moment of the twist-3 polarized parton distribution is related to the transverse force acting on the active quark in deep-inelastic scattering off a transversely polarized nucleon immediately after it has absorbed the virtual photon. Similarly, the -moment of the chirally odd twist-3 unpolarized parton distribution can be related to the transverse force experienced by a transversely polarized quark ejected from a transversely polarized nucleon.
