2 Introduction What are we after? –Structure of proton (quarks and gluons) –Use of proton as a tool What are our means? –QCD as part of the Standard Model

3 3 colors Valence structure of hadrons: global properties of nucleons d uu proton mass charge spin magnetic moment isospin, strangeness baryon number M p  M n  940 MeV Q p = 1, Q n = 0 s = ½ g p  5.59, g n  I = ½: (p,n) S = 0 B = 1 Quarks as constituents

5 A (weak) look at the nucleon n  p + e  +  = 900 s  Axial charge G A (0) = 1.26

7 Local – forward and off-forward m.e. Local operators (coordinate space densities): PP’P’  Static properties: Form factors Examples: (axial) charge mass spin magnetic moment angular momentum

8 Nucleon densities from virtual look proton neutron charge density  0 u more central than d? role of antiquarks? n = n 0 + p   + … ?

9 Quark and gluon operators Given the QCD framework, the operators are known quarkic or gluonic currents such as probed in specific combinations by photons, Z- or W-bosons (axial) vector currents energy-momentum currents probed by gravitons

10 Towards the quarks themselves The current provides the densities but only in specific combinations, e.g. quarks minus antiquarks and only flavor weighted No information about their correlations, (effectively) pions, or … Can we go beyond these global observables (which correspond to local operators)? Yes, in high energy (semi-)inclusive measurements we will have access to non-local operators! L QCD (quarks, gluons) known!

11 Non-local probing Nonlocal forward operators (correlators): Specifically useful: ‘squares’ Momentum space densities of  -ons: Selectivity at high energies: q = p

12 A hard look at the proton Hard virtual momenta (  q 2 = Q 2 ~ many GeV 2 ) can couple to (two) soft momenta   + N  jet    jet + jet

13 Experiments!

14 QCD & Standard Model QCD framework (including electroweak theory) provides the machinery to calculate cross sections, e.g.  *q  q, qq   *,  *  qq, qq  qq, qg  qg, etc. E.g. qg  qg Calculations work for plane waves __

15 Soft part: hadronic matrix elements For hard scattering process involving electrons and photons the link to external particles is, indeed, the ‘ one-particle wave function ’ Confinement, however, implies hadrons as ‘ sources ’ for quarks … and also as ‘ source ’ for quarks + gluons … and also …. PARTON CORRELATORS

16 Thus, the nonperturbative input for calculating hard processes involves [instead of u i (p)u j (p)] forward matrix elements of the form Soft part: hadronic matrix elements quark momentum INTRODUCTION _

17 PDFs and PFFs Basic idea of PDFs is to get a full factorized description of high energy scattering processes calculable defined (!) & portable INTRODUCTION Give a meaning to integration variables!

Interpretation unpolarized quark distribution helicity or chirality distribution transverse spin distr. or transversity need p T T-odd

32  p T -dependent functions T-odd: g 1T  g 1T – i f 1T  and h 1L   h 1L  + i h 1  (imaginary parts) Matrix representation for M = [   ±] (x,p T )  + ] T Bacchetta, Boglione, Henneman & Mulders PRL 85 (2000) 712

33 Rather than considering general correlator  (p,P,…), one thus integrates over p.P = p  (~M R 2, which is of order M 2 ) and/or p T (which is of order 1) The integration over p  = p.P makes time-ordering automatic. This works for  (x) and  (x,p T ) This allows the interpretation of soft (squared) matrix elements as forward antiquark-target amplitudes (untruncated!), which satisfy particular analyticity and support properties, etc. Integrated quark correlators: collinear and TMD TMD collinear (NON-)COLLINEARITY Jaffe (1984), Diehl & Gousset (1998), … lightfront lightcone

44 Conclusions TMDs enter in processes with more than one hadron involved (e.g. SIDIS and DY) Rich phenomenology (Alessandro Bacchetta) Relevance for JLab, Compass, RHIC, JParc, GSI, LHC, EIC and LHeC Role for models using light-cone wf (Barbara Pasquini) and lattice gauge theories (Philipp Haegler) Link of TMD (non-collinear) and GPDs (off-forward) Easy cases are collinear and 1-parton un-integrated (1PU) processes, with in the latter case for the TMD a (complex) gauge link, depending on the color flow in the tree-level hard process Finding gauge links is only first step, (dis)proving QCD factorization is next (recent work of Ted Rogers and Mert Aybat) SUMMARY

45 Rather than considering general correlator  (p,P,…), one integrates over p.P = p  (~M R 2, which is of order M 2 ) and/or p T (which is of order 1) The integration over p  = p.P makes time-ordering automatic. This works for  (x) and  (x,p T ) This allows the interpretation of soft (squared) matrix elements as forward antiquark-target amplitudes (untruncated!), which satisfy particular analyticity and support properties, etc. Thus we need integrated correlators TMD collinear (NON-)COLLINEARITY Jaffe (1984), Diehl & Gousset (1998), … lightfront lightcone

52 Generic hard processes C. Bomhof, P.J. Mulders and F. Pijlman, PLB 596 (2004) 277 [hep-ph/ ]; EPJ C 47 (2006) 147 [hep-ph/ ] Link structure for fields in correlator 1 E.g. qq-scattering as hard subprocess Matrix elements involving parton 1 and additional gluon(s) A + = A.n appear at same (leading) order in ‘ twist ’ expansion insertions of gluons collinear with parton 1 are possible at many places this leads for correlator involving parton 1 to gauge links to lightcone infinity

53 SIDIS SIDIS   [U + ] =  [+] DY   [U - ] =  [  ]

54 A 2  2 hard processes: qq  qq E.g. qq-scattering as hard subprocess The correlator  (x,p T ) enters for each contributing term in squared amplitude with specific link  [Tr(U □ )U + ] (x,p T ) U □ = U + U  †  [U □ U + ] (x,p T )

55 Gluons Using 3x3 matrix representation for U, one finds in gluon correlator appearance of two links, possibly with different paths. Note that standard field displacement involves C = C ’

62 Gluonic pole cross sections In order to absorb the factors C G [U], one can define specific hard cross sections for gluonic poles (which will appear with the functions in transverse moments) for pp: etc. for SIDIS: for DY: Bomhof, Mulders, JHEP 0702 (2007) 029 [hep-ph/ ] (gluonic pole cross section) y

67 examples: qg  qg It is also possible to group the TMD functions in a smart way into two! (nontrivial for nine diagrams/four color-flow possibilities) But still no factorization! Transverse momentum dependent weighted

68 ‘ Residual ’ TMDs We find that we can work with basic TMD functions  [±] (x,p T ) + ‘ junk ’ The ‘ junk ’ constitutes process-dependent residual TMDs The residuals satisfies   (x) = 0 and  G (x,x) = 0, i.e. cancelling k T contributions; moreover they most likely disappear for large k T definite T-behavior no definite T-behavior

Gamberg, A. Mukherjee, PJM, PRD 83 (2011) (R) In general, by looking at higher transverse moments at tree-level, one concludes that transverse momentum effects from different initial state hadrons cannot simply factorize.
