Description
We present, for the first time, a phenomenological
analysis that demonstrates all single transverse-spin asymmetries (SSAs) in
high-energy collisions have a common origin.
Namely, they are due to the intrinsic quantum-mechanical interference
between single- and multi-parton states.
We perform the first global fit of data from Semi-Inclusive Deep
Inelastic Scattering, Drell-Yan, $e^+e^-$ annihilation into hadron
pairs, and proton-proton collisions.
Consequently, we are able to identify a unique set of
functions that describes all observed SSAs.
Furthermore, we achieve the first phenomenological agreement with
lattice on the tensor charge of the nucleon.
