Description

I will report on recent developments in the extraction of the transversity distribution from various methodologies, including transverse momentum dependent (TMD) and collinear twist-3 observables, collinear dihadron fragmentation processes, and lattice QCD. Connected to this is the calculation of the tensor charges of the nucleon, which are important quantities that sit at the intersection of TMD/collinear QCD phenomenology, beyond the Standard Model physics, and lattice QCD. In addition, I will discuss the impact of the Electron-Ion Collider on our understanding of the transversity distribution and associated tensor charges and the importance of achieving a coherent picture of extractions across multiple approaches.
