Novel Master Formula for Twist-3 Soft-Gluon-Pole Mechanism to Single Transverse-Spin Asymmetry
We prove that twist-3 soft-gluon-pole (SGP) cross section for single spin
asymmetries is determined by a certain ``primordial'' twist-2 cross section up
to kinematic and color factors in the leading order perturbative QCD. This
unveils universal structure behind the SGP cross sections in a variety of hard
processes, and also the special role of the scale invariance in the
corresponding primordial cross section, which leads to remarkable
simplification of the SGP cross sections for the production of massless
particle, such as those for pion production p^\uparrow p \to \pi X and
direct-photon production p^\uparrow p \to \gamma X.Comment: 4 pages, 4 eps figures. To appear in the proceedings of 15th

Probing multigluon correlations through single spin asymmetries in pp collisions
We study the single spin asymmetries for the -meson production, Drell-Yan
lepton-pair production and the direct-photon production in the collision
induced by the twist-3 three-gluon correlation functions in the transversely
polarized nucleon. We present a corresponding polarized cross section formula
in the leading-order with respect to the QCD coupling and a model calculation
for the asymmetries, illustrating the sensitivity to the form of the
correlation functions.Comment: Proceedings of the talk presented at the 8th Circum-Pan-Pacific

evolution of chiral-odd twist-3 distribution
We study the dependence of the chiral-odd twist-3 distribution
.The anomalous dimension matrix for the corresponding twist-3
operators is calculated in the one-loop level. This study completes the
calculation of the anomalous dimension matrices for all the twist-3
distributions together with the known results for the other twist-3
distributions and . We also have confirmed that in the
large limit the -evolution of is wholely governed by the
lowest eigenvalue of the anomalous dimension matrix which takes a very simple
analytic form as in the case of and .Comment: 16 pages LaTeX, 4 postscript figure
