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
