Abstract
Within the collinear twist-3 framework, we study the single-spin asymmetry (SSA) in collisions between unpolarized protons and transversely polarized protons with focus on the fragmentation term. The fragmentation mechanism must be analyzed in detail in order to unambiguously determine the impact of various contributions to SSAs in hadron production. Such a distinction may also settle the “sign mismatch” between the transverse SSA in proton–proton collisions and the Sivers effect in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. We calculate terms involving quark–quark and quark–gluon–quark correlators, which is an important step in such an investigation.
