Describe the complex nucleon structure in terms of partonic degrees of freedom of QCD
Physics Motivation
QCD evolution tells us how parton distributions evolve, but not original distributions
RHIC Spin & SIDIS
Understanding of the orbital motion of quarks and spin-orbit correlations is crucial!!!

Xpp Single Spin Asymmetries in
• Recently, large transverse single-spin effects were observed also in p+p collisions (RHIC), at much higher CM energies.
• In collinear picture, the QCD predict small SSAs with transversely polarized protons colliding at high energies.

SSAAsymmetry comes from modulation of the initial distribution function (D.Sivers 1990)
Asymmetry comes from the final state interactions in fragmentation (J.Collins 1993)
Non-PQCD “surface effects (Ma,Boros et al)
correlation between quark fields and the gluonic fields (“twist-3” Qiu&Sterman)
Sivers effect forbidden by time reversal invariance (Collins 1993)

Mechanisms for SSA
L=1
Collins Fragmentation
• L/R SSA generated in fragmentation•Unfavored SSA with opposite sign•No effect in target fragmenation
Orbital momentum generated in string breaking and pair creation produces left-right asymmetry from transversely polarized quark fragmentation (Artru-93)

Mechanisms for SSA
Sivers Distribution f1T┴ : unpolarized quarks in
transversely polarized nucleon
•L/R SSA generated in distribution•Hadrons from struck quark have the same sign SSA•Opposite effect in target fragmentation
T-odd f1T┴, requires final state interactions + interference between different helicity states (Brodsky et al., Collins, Ji et al. 2002)

Transverse momentum of quarks
•kT – required to describe azimuthal distributions of hadrons and in particular SSAs.
•kT - important for cross section description (also for exclusive production)
•kT – leads to 3D description with 8PDFs
Transverse target provides access to spin-orbit correlations with all possible polarizations of quarks.

CLAS12 a full acceptance, general purpose detector for high luminosity electron scattering experiments, is essential for high precision
measurements of GPDs and TMDs in the valence region. Provide new insight into
- quark orbital angular momentum contributions to the nucleon spin- 3D structure of the nucleon’s interior and correlations- quark flavor polarization
EIC will extend studies of 3D nucleon structure, to low x and high Q2 , important for all processes of interest:
- deeply virtual exclusive processes (DVCS, DVMP) - semi-inclusive meson production with polarized beam and polarized targets
