Planned Experiments with JLab 12 GeV
QCD: still unsolved in non-perturbative region
• 2004 Nobel prize for ``asymptotic freedom’’• non-perturbative regime QCD ?• Confinement: one of the top 10 challenges for physics!• QCD: Important for discovering new physics beyond SM• Nucleon structure is one of the most active areas
Introduction• Quarks/Gulons are confined in hadron • To study/understand confinement: both static (spectroscopy) and dynamics• Nucleon: an ideal laboratory to study strong interaction (QCD) • Nucleon = valence quarks (u u d or u d d) + sea + gluons
• Mass, charge, magnetic moment, spin, axial charge, tensor charge • Decomposition of each of the fundamental quantities
Mass: ~1 GeV, but u/d quark mass only a few MeV each! Momentum: quarks carry ~ 50% Spin: ½, quarks contribute ~30% Spin Sum Rule
Orbital Angular Momentum Relations to TMDs and GPDs Tensor charge Lattice QCD
• Quarks and gluon field are in-separable • Multi-parton correlations are important• Transverse dimension is crucial for understanding nucleon structure and QCD, help understanding confinement
• Elastic (Form Factors), Resonances, DIS, Spin, Transverse Spin, TMDs, GPDs
Three Decades of Spin Structure Study• 1980s: EMC (CERN) + early SLAC quark contribution to proton spin is very small = (12+-9+-14)% ! ‘spin crisis’ (Ellis-Jaffe sum rule violated)
• 1990s: SLAC, SMC (CERN), HERMES (DESY) = 20-30% the rest: gluon and quark orbital angular momentum
A+=0 (light-cone) gauge (½) + Lq+ G + Lg=1/2 (Jaffe)
gauge invariant (½) + Lq + JG =1/2 (Ji) New decomposition (X. Chen, et. Al, Wakamatsu, …) What observable directly corresponds to Lz~ bx X py ? Bjorken Sum Rule verified to <10% level
• 2000s: COMPASS (CERN), HERMES, RHIC-Spin, JLab, … : ~ 30%;G probably small, orbital angular momentum probably significant Valence Quark Spin Distributions Sum Rules at low Q2, Higher-Twists Transversity, Transverse-Momentum Dependent Distributions
JLab Spin Experiments
• Results: • Spin in the valence (high-x) region• Spin (g1/g2) Moments: Spin Sum Rules, Spin Polarizabilities• SSA in SIDIS: Transversity, TMDs
• On-going• g2

Valence Quark Spin Structure
A1 at high x and flavor decomposition
Why Are PDFs at High x Important?
• Valence quark dominance: simpler picture
-- direct comparison with nucleon structure models
SU(6) symmetry, broken SU(6), diquark• x 1 region amenable to pQCD analysis
-- hadron helicity conservation?
role of quark orbit angular momentum?
• Clean connection with QCD, via lattice moments (d2)
• Input for search for new physics at high energy collider
-- evolution: high x at low Q2 low x at high Q2
-- small uncertainties amplified
-- example: HERA ‘anomaly’ (1998)

Axial Anomaly and the LT Puzzle
N. Kochelev and Y. Oh; arXiv:1103.4891v1
E08-027 : Proton g2 Structure Function Fundamental spin observable has never been measured at low or moderate Q2
BC Sum Rule : violation suggested for proton at large Q2, but found satisfied for the neutron & 3He.
Spin Polarizability : Major failure (>8 of PT for neutron LT. Need g2 isospin separation to solve.
Hydrogen HyperFine Splitting : Lack of knowledge of g2 at low Q2 is one of the leading uncertainties.
Proton Charge Radius : also one of the leading uncertainties in extraction of <Rp> from H Lamb shift.

Single Target-Spin Asymmetries in SIDIS
Transversity/Tensor Charge
Transversity
• Three twist-2 quark distributions:• Momentum distributions: q(x,Q2) = q↑(x) + q↓(x)• Longitudinal spin distributions: Δq(x,Q2) = q↑(x) - q↓(x)• Transversity distributions: δq(x,Q2) = q┴(x) - q┬(x)
• It takes two chiral-odd objects to measure transversity• Semi-inclusive DIS
Chiral-odd distributions function (transversity) Chiral-odd fragmentation function (Collins function)
• TMDs: (without integrating over PT)
• Distribution functions depends on x, k┴ and Q2 : δq, f1T┴ (x,k┴ ,Q2), …
• Fragmentation functions depends on z, p┴ and Q2 : D, H1(x,p┴ ,Q2)• Measured asymmetries depends on x, z, P┴ and Q2 : Collins, Sivers, …
(k┴, p┴ and P┴ are related)
