Connections between collinear and transverse-momentum-dependent polarized observables within the Collins–Soper–Sterman formalism

We extend the improved Collins–Soper–Sterman (iCSS) W+Y construction recently presented in [1] to the case of polarized observables, where we focus in particular on the Sivers effect in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering. We further show how one recovers the expected leading-order collinear tw...
