Twist-3 Double Spin Asymmetries in Drell-Yan Processes
arXiv:2108.01803 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.105.014009
Abstract
We study double spin asymmetries in Drell-Yan processes in which one initial hadron is transversely polarized and another one is longitudinally polarized. The complete part of the hadronic tensor relevant to asymmetries is derived. This part consists of twist-2 and twist-3 parton distributions and is gauge invariant. We construct some observables which can be used to extract these parton distributions from experimental measurements.
