By using the Ward
Identity:
same Collins fun.
The Collins function is the same as e^+e^- and SIDIS

Key observations
Final state interactions DO NOT
provide a phase for a nonzero SSA
 Eikonal propagators DO NOT contribute
to a pole
 Ward identity is applicable to warrant
the universality arguments


17
Sivers effect is different
It is the final state interaction
providing a phase to the nonzero SSA
 Ward identity is not easy to apply
 Non-universality in general
 Only in special case, we have
“Special Universality”

Future perspective
Current and planed experiments will
have more and more data on various
transverse spin observables
 Recent developments have laid solid
theoretical ground to apply QCD theory
to study the relevant nucleon structure

 Orbital motion of quarks and gluon

Naïve parton model fails

If the underlying scattering mechanism is
hard, the naïve parton model generates a
very small SSA: (G. Kane et al, 1978),
 It

is in general suppressed by αSmq/Q
We have to go beyond this naïve picture
