Abstract
We demonstrate that the collinear expansion fails in the case of
gluon emission from a fast quark produced
in eA DIS. In this approximation the N!=!1 rescattering contribution
to the gluon spectrum vanishes.
We show that
the higher-twist approach by Guo, Wang and Zhang [11aur-W1,11aur-W2]
based on the collinear expansion is wrong.
The nonzero gluon spectrum obtained in [11aur-W1,11aur-W2]
is a consequence of unjustified neglecting some important terms
in the collinear expansion.
