Global fitting of single spin asymmetry: an attempt

Zhong-Bo Kang, Alexei Prokudin

Published 2012-01-26Version 1

We present an attempt of global analysis of Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) $\ell p^\uparrow \to \ell' \pi X$ data on single spin asymmetries and data on left-right asymmetry $A_N$ in $p^\uparrow p \to \pi X$ in order to simultaneously extract information on Sivers function and twist-three quark-gluon Efremov-Teryaev-Qiu-Sterman (ETQS) function. We explore different possibilities such as node of Sivers function in $x$ or $k_\perp$ in order to explain "sign mismatch" between these functions. We show that $\pi^\pm$ SIDIS data and $\pi^0$ STAR data can be well described in a combined TMD and twist-3 fit, however $\pi^\pm$ BRAHMS data are not described in a satisfactory way. This leaves open a question to the solution of the "sign mismatch". Possible explanations are then discussed.
