Leading and higher twist contributions in semi-inclusive e+e- annihilation at high energies

By applying the collinear expansion to the semi-inclusive hadron production process e(+)e(-) -> h + (q) over bar (jet) + X at high energies, we construct a theoretical framework where leading and higher twist contributions at the leading perturbative QCD can be calculated systematically. With this framework, we calculate the contributions up to twist-3 for spin-0, spin-1/2, and spin-1 hadrons, respectively. We present the results for the hadronic tensors, the differential cross sections, the azimuthal asymmetries, and the polarizations of the hadrons.
