Energy Evolution for the Sivers Asymmetries in Hard Processes

Abstract

We investigate the energy evolution of the azimuthal spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive hadron production in deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) and Drell-Yan lepton pair production in pp collisions. The scale dependence is evaluated by applying an approximate solution to the Collins-Soper-Sterman (CSS) evolution equation at one-loop order which is adequate for moderate Q^2 variations. This describes well the unpolarized cross sections for SIDIS and Drell-Yan process in the $Q^2$ range of 2.4-100GeV^2. A combined analysis of the Sivers asymmetries in SIDIS from HERMES and COMPASS experiments, and the predictions for the Drell-Yan process at RHIC at \sqrt{S}=200GeV are presented. We further extend to the Collins asymmetries and find, for the first time, a consistent description for HERMES/COMPASS and BELLE experiments with the evolution effects. We emphasize an important test of the evolution effects by studying di-hadron azimuthal asymmetry in e^+e^- annihilation at moderate energy range, such as at BEPC at \sqrt{S}=4.6GeV.
