Parity-Conserving Single-Spin Asymmetries in Scattering Processes(early history). George C. Stokes, Trans. Cambr. Phil. Soc. 9, 399 (1852), introduced
parameters describing polarization states of light.
. N. F. Mott, Proc. R. Soc. (London), A124, 425 (1929), noticed that polarization and/or asymmetry is due to spin-orbit coupling in the Coulomb scattering of electrons (Extended to high energy ep-scattering by AA et al., 2002).
. Julian Schwinger, Phys. Rev. 69, 681 (1946); ibid., 73, 407 (1948), suggested a method to polarize fast neutrons via spin-orbit interaction in the scattering off nuclei
. Lincoln Wolfeinstein, Phys. Rev. 75, 1664 (1949); A. Simon, T.A.Welton, Phys. Rev. 90, 1036 (1953), formalism of polarization effects in nuclear reactions

Wolfeinstein-Simon-WeltonSelection Rules
Quoted from PR D90, 1036 (1953)
. If only S-waves are effective in the reaction, there can be no polarization
. If only levels of the compound nucleus having J=1/2 and a single parity (or J=0 with any parity) are effective, there will be no polarization
. If only spin 0 is effective for the final channel, the polarization vanishes
. Polarization results from the interference of the different subchannels contributing to the reaction. Hence, if there is only a single nonzero element of the scattering matrix, the polarization will vanish
. If there is no spin-orbit coupling, the polarization will vanish

Elastic ep-scattering
. Need more than 1 photon exchange to generate SSA
. Did not attract much attention until the `Rosenbluth vs. polarization’ puzzle

Do the techniques agree?
. Both early SLAC and Recent JLab experiments on (super)Rosenbluth separations followed Ge/Gm~const
. JLab measurements using polarization transfer technique give different results (Jones’00, Gayou’02)
Radiative corrections, in particular, a short-range part of 2-photon exchange is a likely origin of the discrepancy

GPD Calculation of 2γ×Z-interference. Can be used at higher Q2, but points at a
problem of additional systematic corrections for parity-violating electron scattering. The effect evaluated in GPD formalism is the largest for backward angles:
AA & Carlson, hep-ph/0502128, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 212301 (2005): measurements of strange-quark content of the nucleon are affected, Δs may shift by ~10%
Important note: (nonsoft) 2γ-exchange amplitude has no 1/Q2 singularity;1γ-exchange is 1/Q2 singular => At low Q2, 2γ-corrections is suppressed as Q2

Feature of the normal beam asymmetry: After me is factored out, the remaining expression is singular when virtuality of the photons reach zero in the loop integral!But why are the expressions regular for the target SSA?!Also available calculations by Gorshtein, Guichon, Vanderhaeghen, Pasquini;Confirm quasi-real photon exchange enhancement in the nucleon resonance region

Special property of normal beam asymmetry
. Reason for the unexpected behavior: hard collinear quasi-real photons
. Intermediate photon is collinear to the parent electron
. It generates a dynamical pole and logarithmic enhancement of inelastic excitations of the intermediate hadronic state

Trouble with HandbagAA, Brodsky, Carlson, Chen, Vanderhaeghen Model schematics:
• Hard eq-interaction•GPDs describe quark emission/absorption •Soft/hard photon separation
•Use Grammer-Yennie prescription
•Hard interaction with a quark•Applied for BSSA by Gorshtein, Guichon, Vanderhaeghen, NP A741, 234 (2004)
•Exchange of hard collinear photons is kinematically forbidden if one assumesa handbag approximation (placing quarks on mass shell) , BUT…•Collinear-photon-exchange enhancement (up to two orders of magnitude) is allowed for off-mass-shell quarks (higher twists) and Regge-like contributions=> If the handbag approximation is violated at ≈ 0.5% level, It would result in (0.5%)log2(Q2/me
2) ≈100% level correction to beam asymmetryBut target asymmetry, TPE corrections to Rosenbluth and polarization transfer predictions will be violated at the same 0.5% level
Andrei Afanasev, Single-Spin Beam Asymmetries in QCD and QED, SSA Workshop, BNL, 6/3/05Operated by the Southeastern Universities Research Association for the U.S. Dept. of Energy
Mott Asymmetry Promoted to High Energies. Excitation of inelastic hadronic intermediate states by the consecutive
exchange of two photons leads to logarithmic and double-logarithmic enhancement due to contributions of hard collinear quasi-real photons for the beam normal asymmetry
. The strongest enhancement has a form: log2(Q2/me2) => two orders of
magnitude+unsuppressed angular dependence
. Can be generalized to transverse asymmetries in light spin-1/2 particle scattering via massless gauge boson exchange
. Beam asymmetry at high energies is strongly affected by effects beyond pure Coulomb distortion
. Supports Qiu-Sterman twist-3 picture of SSA
. What else can we learn from elastic beam SSA?
. Check implications of elastic hadron scattering in QCD
(Can large An,t in pp elastic be due to onset of collinear multi-gluon exchange + inelastic excitations?)
. Large SSA in deep-inelastic collisions due to hard collinear gluon exchange; in pQCD need NNLO to obtain unsupressed collinear gluons
Andrei Afanasev, Single-Spin Beam Asymmetries in QCD and QED, SSA Workshop, BNL, 6/3/05Operated by the Southeastern Universities Research Association for the U.S. Dept. of Energy
Nucleon Structure Case
. Single-spin asymmetries in the scattering processes would vanish without contributions from both spin and orbital angular momentum
. Brodsky, Hwang & Schmidt, Phys. Lett. B530, 99 (2002) demonstrated how final state interactions at the parton level result in leading-twist contributions to the single-spin target asymmetry. Essential ingredients of the BHS model are:
. Orbital angular momentum in the initial nucleon state, so that the struck parton may have helicities both parallel and antiparallel to the initial nucleon
. Gluon exchange takes place in the final state, generating both phase differences and transverse-momentum dependence
Andrei Afanasev, Single-Spin Beam Asymmetries in QCD and QED, SSA Workshop, BNL, 6/3/05Operated by the Southeastern Universities Research Association for the U.S. Dept. of Energy
AA+C. Carlson on Beam SSAhep-ph/0308163
. Assume BHS mechanism for generating single-spin asymmetries, viz.
. Gluon exchange takes place in the final state, generating both phase differences and transverse-momentum dependence
. Asymmetry is due to interference between (a) and absorptive part of (b)
. No assumptions are required on the details of nucleon spin structure
•Concluded: this mechanism is not ~e(x)*Collins fragmentation•Followed by Yuan (+h1
perp), Gamberg et al., Metz-Schlegel, Bachetta-Mulders-Pijlman (+gperp)->jet case
Andrei Afanasev, Single-Spin Beam Asymmetries in QCD and QED, SSA Workshop, BNL, 6/3/05Operated by the Southeastern Universities Research Association for the U.S. Dept. of Energy
Details of calculation
. Assume that NLO contribution is small, neglecting terms O(NLO2)
. The asymmetry is proportional to the imaginary part of LT-interference
. The calculation is free of infrared and ultraviolet divergence
. Contributions from soft gluons cancel at the observable asymmetry level
. Assume for this calculation that s is frozen (=0.3)
. Assume kT is small

Summary on beam SSA in SIDIS
. BSSA is due to the correlation,
. Target SSA is due to
. Since no `artificially T-odd’ fragmentatrion, named `photon Sivers effect’ in AA, Carlson, hep-ph/0308163
. Beam SSA is suppressed by an extra power of 1/Q compared to target SSA, since it is due to LT (photon) interference
. Predictions for beam SSA do not depend on the assumptions of orbital angular momentum contribution to the nucleon light-cone wave function, while the remaining assumption (gluon exchange in the final state) is the same
. Result very sensitive to the method of restoring electromagnetic gauge invariance through adding non-partonic contributions

Conclusions
. Reaction mechanism similar to the one proposed earlier by Brodsky et al. for target SSA gives the magnitude for beam SSA compatible with experiment
. High sensitivity to non-partonic contributions, especially at small xBj
. Beam SSA is due to the orbital angular momentum at the photon-parton level (`photon Sivers effect’) - no T-odd fragmentation is involved
. Measurement of BSSA is important for interpretation of target SSA data
