Abstract
We study the transverse single spin asymmetry in eta(c,b) production in polarized hadron collisions, employing the collinear twist-3 approach in combination with the color singlet model. Our main focus lies on the contribution from the twist-3 Efremov-Teryaev-Qiu-Sterman function. By extrapolating the derived spin-dependent cross section to the small transverse momentum region, consistency between the collinear twist-3 approach and the transverse-momentum-dependent factorization approach is confirmed. As a byproduct of this work, we identify a term contributing to the scale evolution of trigluon correlations in the flavor-singlet case which was originally missed, see also V. M. Braun, A. N. Manashov, and B. Pirnay [Phys. Rev. D 80, 114002 (2009); 86, 119902(E) (2012)].
