Update on the JAM Global Analysis of SSAs

ORAL

Abstract

The analysis of single transverse-spin asymmetries (SSAs) gives us tremendous insight into the internal structure of hadrons.  For example, the Sivers and Collins effects in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS), Sivers effect in Drell-Yan, and the Collins effect in electron-positron annihilation have been widely investigated over many years in order to perform 3D momentum-space tomography.  In addition, observables like AN in proton-proton collisions are of interest due to their sensitivity to quark-gluon correlations.  In this talk I will discuss results, and give an update on, our global fit of SSA data from SIDIS, Drell-Yan, e+e annihilation into hadron pairs, and proton-proton collisions.  This includes the impact of new HERMES and STAR data on our analysis as well as lattice data for the tensor charge.  I will also mention future directions for the JAM global analysis of SSAs.
