Twist-3 T-Even TMD Distributions in Quark Target Model

Abstract

Transverse momentum dependent parton distributions are objects that have gained substantial attention in the recent past as they are crucial for studying the 3-D structure of proton. These distributions at twist-3 are important for understanding phenomena like beam single spin asymmetries, which are observed in high-energy scattering experiments. However, due to the unavailability of direct phenomenological fits, currently one has to rely on simplified models of the proton in order to obtain these twist-3 distributions. In this work, we present the calculation of T-even twist-3 quark distributions using the quark target model.
