Non-Universality and Evolution of the Sivers Function

We examine the large-x QCD evolution of the twist-three gluonic-pole strength defining an effective T-odd Sivers function, where evolution of the T-even transverse-spin DIS structure function g2 is multiplicative. The result corresponds to a colour-factor modified spin-averaged twist-two evolution.Comment: Presented at the ECT* Workshop on Recent Advances in Perturbative QCD and Hadronic Physics (20-25 July 2009} - final version (minor modifications

Study of correlation of production and decay planes in π→3π\pi\to3\pi diffractive dissociation process on nuclei

A large correlation of production and decay planes of (\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-)-system in dissociation of $\pi^-$-beam 40 GeV/c on nuclear targets was observed. The dependence of the correlation on atomic number, Feynmann variable and transversal momentum as well as on invariant mass of the pion triple and neutral pion pair were investigated. It was shown that the phenomenon has a clear dynamic origin and resembles the single spin asymmetry behavior.Comment: 8 pages, latex epsfig.sty, 5 eps figures. Submitted to Yad. Fiz

Quantum eigenstate tomography with qubit tunneling spectroscopy

Measurement of the energy eigenvalues (spectrum) of a multi-qubit system has recently become possible by qubit tunneling spectroscopy (QTS). In the standard QTS experiments, an incoherent probe qubit is strongly coupled to one of the qubits of the system in such a way that its incoherent tunneling rate provides information about the energy eigenvalues of the original (source) system. In this paper, we generalize QTS by coupling the probe qubit to many source qubits. We show that by properly choosing the couplings, one can perform projective measurements of the source system energy eigenstates in an arbitrary basis, thus performing quantum eigenstate tomography. As a practical example of a limited tomography, we apply our scheme to probe the eigenstates of a kink in a frustrated transverse Ising chain.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure

Search for Anomaly at High x in Polarized Deep Inelastic Scattering Data

An idea of possible anomalous contribution of non-perturbative origin to the nucleon spin was examined by analysing data on spin asymmetries in polarized deep inelastic scattering of leptons on nucleons. The region of high Bjorken x was explored. It was shown that experimental data available at present do not evidence for this effect.Comment: Submitted to Mod.Phys.Lett.

QCD factorization for forward hadron scattering at high energies

We consider the QCD factorization of DIS structure functions at small x and amplitudes of 2->2 -hadronic forward scattering at high energy. We show that both collinear and k_T-factorization for these processes can be obtained approximately as reductions of a more general (totally unintegrated) form of the factorization. The requirement of ultraviolet and infrared stability of the factorization convolutions allows us to obtain restrictions on the fits for the parton distributions in k_T- and collinear factorization.Comment: 18 pages, 10 figures In the present version misprints found in the prevcious version are corrected and some more details are explaine
