SESZIONE DI TORINO The transverse momentum dependent generalized parton model at
leading twist level
may be proved by considering higher twist collinear factorization.
Transverse momentum dependent
distributions correspond to partial resummation of infinite tower of
collinear higher twists.
The moment of Sivers function is related to soft gluon twist 3 matrix
element. The factorization in terms of twist 3 is complementary to the
breaking of factorization in terms of Sivers function by calculable
colour factors.
The applicability of generalized parton model for high transverse
momentum processes is justified.
