Semi-Inclusive Reactions (SIR) Workshop 2005
SIR2005
International Workshop on Semi-Inclusive Reactions and 3D-Parton Distributions
May 18-20, 2005
Jefferson Lab, Newport News, Virginia, USA
Parton distributions have recently been generalized to describe the observables accessible in electroproduction with additional hadron(s) detected in the final state. As a result, two sets of 3-dimensional parton distributions have been introduced: transverse momentum dependent (TMD) distributions describing semi-inclusive processes; and Generalized Parton Distributions (GPD) describing exclusive hard-scattering processes.
We are organizing this workshop in order to bring together theorists and experimentalists to discuss the details of nucleon structure that can be probed in semi-inclusive reactions. We plan to focus on the role of quark orbital angular momentum, TMD parton distributions, dynamical origins of single-spin asymmetries and complementarity between partonic description of hard processes in terms of GPD and TMD. This approach will augment the presently established role of semi-inclusive reactions as a tool for flavor separation of parton distributions, and help identify directions for further development of this quickly emerging field.
