Transverse Force on Quarks in DIS

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2013-11-19 v2

Abstract

The interaction dependent part of the x2x^2-moment of the twist-3 polarized parton distribution g2(x)g_2(x) 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 x2x^2-moment of the chirally odd twist-3 unpolarized parton distribution e(x)e(x) can be related to the transverse force experienced by a transversely polarized quark ejected from a transversely polarized nucleon.
