Description
Unpolarized protons can generate transversely polarized quarks or linearly polarized gluons through a distribution known as the Boer-Mulders' function. The fragmentation of similarly polarized partons to unpolarized hadrons is called the Collins' function. Both of these functions include correlations between the spin or polarization and the relative transverse momentum of the incoming or outgoing parton, with respect to the parent or final hadron.
We explore the effect of including these and other Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) distributions on the production of high-
