Probing the Sivers function with an unpolarized target: GTMD distributions and the Odderons

preprint2019arXivOpen access

Abstract

It is commonly believed that the Sivers function has uniquely to do with processes involving a transversely polarized nucleon. In this paper we show that it is not necessarily the case. We demonstrate that exclusive pion production in ununpolarized electron-proton scattering in the forward region is a direct probe of the gluon Sivers function due to its connection to the QCD Odderon.
