We show that the final-state interaction effects in the single target spin asymmetry discovered by Brodsky et al. can be reproduced by either a standard light-cone gauge definition of the parton distributions with a prescription of the light-cone singularities consistent with the light-cone gauge link, or a modified light-cone gauge definition with a gauge link involving the gauge potential at the spatial infinity.

Sivers Tomography from Charge and Angle Only
The OPCC observable is IRC finite and factorizes into the Sivers distribution plus a perturbatively calculable charge-weighted jet function, eliminating dependence on non-perturbative fragmentation functions via charg...
