Transverse momentum dependent transversely polarized distributions at next-to-next-to-leading-order

Transverse momentum dependent transversely polarized distributions at next-to-next-to-leading-order

We calculate the matching of the transversity and pretzelosity transverse momentum dependent distributions (TMD) on transversity collinear distribution at the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). We find that the matching coefficient for pretzelosity distribution is zero, despite the matrix element for it is nontrivial. This result suggests that the pretzelosity matches a …
