This article presents a summary of overlapping presentations by the author to the QCD Evolution 2013 Workshop (Jefferson Lab, May 6-10, 2013) and to the Opportunities for Polarized Physics at Fermilab workshop (Fermilab, May 20-22, 2013). It contains an introduction to the concept of Kane-Pumplin-Repko (KPR) factorization and describes how this concept can be used in the analysis of high precision measurements of parity-conserving transverse single-spin asymmetries. The discussion demonstrates that such measurements can not only probe directly for specific mechanisms that enhance our fundamental understanding of nonperturbative QCD dynamics but, because transverse spin asymmetries are unambiguously parameterized by a spin-directed momentum shift, 〈δkTN (x, μ2)〉 such measurements can also be used to calibrate other phenomenological applications of transverse momentum dependent distributions (TMDs) and of TMD evolution. The calibration supplied by these measurements can thus enable the use of TMD factorization for the exploration of a broad range of other aspects of hadronic structure. KPR factorization ensures that 〈δkTN (x, μ2)〉 remains invariant under TMD evolution and this invariance can be used in the precision comparison of transverse single-spin asymmetries in the Drell-Yan process with those in Semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering.

We provide a new analysis within collinear factorization of transverse single-spin asymmetries (TSSAs) in high transverse momentum charged and neutral pion production in pp collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). This study incorporates the so-called twist-3 fragmentation term and shows that one can describe RHIC data through this mechanism. Moreover, by fixing other non-perturbative inputs through extractions of transverse momentum dependent functions in e+e- → h1h2X and semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS), we provide for the first time a consistency between certain spin/azimuthal asymmetries in all three reactions (i.e., pp, e+e-, and SIDIS).

We estimate the single-spin asymmetries with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] angular dependencies for electroproduction of pions in transversely polarized semi-inclusive DIS process. We consider the effect of the twist-3 transverse momentum dependent distributions which convoluted with twist-2 fragmentation functions. We calculate these distributions in a spectator-diquark model, and predict the corresponding single-spin asymmetries at the kinematics of HERMES, JLab and COMPASS. We find that the numerical estimates show that the asymmetries are sizable, and the T-odd twist-3 TMDs play an important role in these asymmetries.

We present first measurements of forward jet production from p↑ + p collisions at [Formula: see text] GeV, including transverse single spin asymmetries. These asymmetries are expected to be sensitive to spin-correlated transverse momentum in the initial state, which is particularly interesting because it is related to orbital angular momentum in the proton.
