We discuss the NLO evolution of quark transversity densities and of the parton distribution function for linearly polarized gluons in a linearly polarized hadron. A supersymmetric relation between the NLO evolution kernels for transversity…
We check numerically if Soffer's inequality for quark distributions is preserved by next-to-leading order QCD evolution. Assuming that the inequality is saturated at a low hadronic scale we estimate the maximal transverse double spin…
We derive the next-to-leading order splitting kernels for the scale evolution of fragmentation functions for transversely polarized quarks into transversely polarized hadrons.
The feasibility of measuring chiral-odd parton distribution functions in polarized Drell-Yan and semi-inclusive experiments has renewed theoretical interest in their study. Not long ago we presented an analysis of the transversity…
We present a calculation of the two-loop evolution kernels of the twist-two transversally polarized quark and linearly polarized gluon skewed parton distributions in the minimal subtraction scheme and discuss a solution of the evolution…
We present the first next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) calculation of the twist-2 matching coefficients for transverse momentum dependent (TMD) quark transversity parton distribution and fragmentation functions in QCD. This…
I shall present a rather pedagogical discussion of the transversity distributions in the quark-parton model and, in particular, the role of perturbative QCD corrections. Among the topics I shall discuss are: LO and NLO evolution, the Soffer…
We study the effects of next-to-leading order corrections on the evolution of the twist-two non-forward parton distribution functions in the flavour non-singlet sector. It is found that the deviation from leading order evolution is small…
We review the present state of knowledge regarding the transverse polarisation (or transversity) distributions of quarks. After some generalities on transverse polarisation, we formally define the transversity distributions within the…
The QCD evolution of the transversity distributions is investigated and compared to that of the helicity distributions. It is shown that they differ largely in the small-$x$ region. It is also proved that the evolution preserves Soffer's…
The T-odd distribution functions contributing to transversity properties of the nucleon and their role in fueling nontrivial contributions to azimuthal asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering are investigated. We use a…
The quark-parton model calculation including the effects of intrinsic transverse momentum and of all six twist-two distribution functions of quarks in polarized nucleons is performed. It is demonstrated that new twist-two quark distribution…
Within the framework of higher-twist collinear factorization, transverse momentum broadening for the final hadrons in semi-inclusive deeply inelastic $e+A$ collisions is studied at the next-to-leading order (NLO) in perturbative QCD.…
The results of a two-loop calculation in the Feynman gauge of both the DGLAP and the ERBL evolution kernels for transversely polarized distributions are presented. The structure of these evolution kernels is discussed in detail. In…
We propose an inequality between the longitudinally polarized density and the transversity of a quark in a nucleon. This inequality, whose validity is limited to very small scales, is based on considerations about Lorentz transformations…
We introduce twist-two quark interference fragmentation functions in helicity density matrix formalism and study their physical implications. We show how the nucleon's transversity distribution can be probed through the final state…
We develop a framework for the reconstruction of the non-forward kernels which govern the evolution of twist-two distribution amplitudes and off-forward parton distributions beyond leading order. It is based on the knowledge of the special…
We define twist-two and twist-three quark fragmentation functions in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and study their physical implications. Using this formalism we show how the nucleon's transversity distribution can be measured in single pion…
We determine the two-loop 'time-like' Altarelli-Parisi splitting functions, appearing in the next-to-leading order Q^2-evolution equations for fragmentation functions, via analytic continuation of the corresponding 'space-like' splitting…
A short review of problems with parton distribution functions in nucleons, non-polarized and polarized, is given. The main part is devoted to the transversity distribution its possible measurement and its first experimental probe via spin…
