Factorization theorem for quasi-TMD distributions with kinematic power corrections

We derive the factorization theorem for the quasi-transverse-momentum-dependent (quasi-TMD) correlator, including kinematic power corrections to all orders. The resulting expression involves only twist-two TMD distributions and is frame invariant. As in the leading-power approximation, the reduced soft factor factorizes multiplicatively; however, in contrast, the TMD evolution factor is not multiplicative but enters as a convolution with the nonperturbative TMD distribution. We present a numerical estimate of the difference between the derived expression and the leading-power approximation, finding it to be of the order of tens of percent for current lattice simulations. We also demonstrate that the inclusion of these corrections improves the agreement between phenomenological extractions of the Collins-Soper kernel and lattice results.

Leading qT/Q correction for Drell-Yan in TMD factorization

The transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization theorem accommodates various types of power corrections. Among them, the least studied are qT/Q corrections, which become significant at large values of transverse momentum. These corrections partially originate from higher-twist TMD distributions, which exhibit singularity at small transverse distances. We propose a decomposition that reveals this singularity explicitly, and makes the qT/Q correction manifest. As a concrete application, we consider the next-to-leading power correction for the angular distributions in Drell-Yan, and determine the leading qT/Q corrections. These corrections are significant for the angular distributions A1 and A3, in complete agreement with the data.
