Abstract

We consider hard electroproduction of mesons at the twist-3 level and focus our attention on helicity flip amplitudes corresponding to the production of transversely polarized mesons by transverse photons. We demonstrate that the helicity-flip amplitude for the transversely polarized particles is closely related to the contributions of the matrix elements of the tensor gluon operator which can serve as a pure gluonic probe of the hadrons. Using the standard factorization approach and the Wandzura-Wilczek approximation for the twist-3 matrix elements we find that such amplitudes do not have divergencies from the end point regions which appear in the other twist-3 amplitudes.
