Transverse momentum distribution of hadrons within a jet

ORAL

Abstract

We consider the transverse momentum distribution of hadrons within a fully reconstructed jet. Within the framework of Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET), we demonstrate how such a distribution for inclusive jet production in proton-proton collisions can be expressed in a transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization formalism. We show the phenomenological application of such a formalism, for both unpolarized and polarized collisions (e.g., Collins azimuthal asymmetry), which has been measured at both RHIC and/or LHC.
