The transverse structure of the nucleon (resolving the quark motion inside a nucleon) Mauro Anselmino, Torino University and INFN, JLab, December 15, 2006 the need for parton intrinsic motion transverse momentum dependent distribution and fragmentation functions (TMD) spin and k ┴ : transverse Single Spin Asymmetries SSA in SIDIS Spin effects in unpolarized e + e – → h 1 h 2 X at BELLE what do we learn from TMD’s?

M. Arneodo et al (EMC): Z. Phys. C 34 (1987) 277 Intrinsic motion in unpolarized SIDIS, in collinear parton model thus, no dependence on azimuthal angle Ф h at zero-th order in pQCD the experimental data reveal that
5
Cahn: the observed azimuthal dependence is related to the intrinsic k ┴ of quarks (at least for small P T values) These modulations of the cross section with azimuthal angle are denoted as “Cahn effect”. assuming collinear fragmentation, φ = Φ h
6
SIDIS with intrinsic k ┴ kinematics according to Trento conventions (2004) factorization holds at large Q 2, and Ji, Ma, Yuan
7
The full kinematics is complicated as the produced hadron has also intrinsic transverse momentum with respect to the fragmenting parton neglecting terms of order one has

assuming: one finds: with clear dependence on(assumed to be constant) and Find best values by fitting data on Φ h and P T dependences
