Introduction to the transverse-momentum-weighted technique in the twist-3 collinear factorization approach.
2019
The twist-3 collinear factorization framework has drawn much attention in recent decades as a successful approach in describing the data for single spin asymmetries (SSAs). Many SSAs data have been experimentally accumulated in a variety of energies since the first measurement was done in late 70s and it is expected that the future experiments like Electron-Ion collider will provide us with more data. In order to perform a consistent and precise description of the data taken in different kinematic regimes, the scale evolution of the collinear twist-3 functions and the perturbative higher order hard part coefficients are mandatory. In this paper, we introduce the techniques for next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation of transverse-momentum-weighted SSAs, which can be served as a useful tool to derive the QCD evolution equation for twist-3 functions, and to verify the QCD collinear factorization for twist-3 observables at NLO, as well as to obtain the finite NLO hard part coefficients.
