Single spin asymmetries and gauge invariance in hard scattering processes

Abstract

In this PhD-thesis effects from intrinsic transverse momentum are studied in several hard scattering processes with an emphasis on color gauge invariance. The thesis is intended for beginning PhD-students as well as for the experts.
