Soft and Collinear Factorization and Transverse Momentum Dependent Parton Distribution Functions
read the original abstract
In this work we consider how a parton distribution function, with an explicit transverse momentum dependence can be properly defined in a regularization-scheme independent manner. We argue that by considering a factorized form of the transverse momentum dependent spectrum for the production of a heavy lepton pair in Drell-Yan reaction, one should first split the relevant soft function into two boost invariant contributions. When those soft contributions are added to the pure collinear contributions, well-defined hadronic matrix elements emerge, i.e., the transverse momentum dependent distributions. We also perform a comparison with Collins' definition.

Collins asymmetries for pion-in-jet production in polarized $\ell p$ collisions at the EIC
Collins asymmetries for pion-in-jet production in polarized lepton-proton collisions provide clearer access to transversity distributions at the EIC and test the universality of the Collins function.

Collins asymmetries for pion-in-jet production in polarized $\ell p$ collisions at the EIC
Collins asymmetries for pion-in-jet production at the EIC are calculated in LO and Weizsacker-Williams approximations, showing quark-channel dominance and clearer access to sea-quark transversity.
