Non-collinearity in high energy processes

Abstract
We discuss the treatment of intrinsic transverse momenta in high energy scattering processes. Within the field theoretical framework of QCD the process is described in terms of correlators containing quark and gluon fields. The correlators, parameterized in terms of distribution and fragmentation functions, contain matrix elements of nonlocal field configurations requiring a careful treatment to assure color gauge invariance. It leads to nontrivial gauge links connecting the parton fields. For the transverse momentum dependent correlators the gauge links give rise to time reversal odd phenomena, showing up as single spin and azimuthal asymmetries. The gauge links, arising from multi-gluon initial and final state interactions, depend on the color flow in the process, challenging universality.
