Look at the manual sections called "Using Access Registers", 
which can also be found via Google. 

There's an introductory section in "z/OS MVS Programming: 
Assembler Services Guide", and more details in "z/OS MVS 
Programming: Extended Addressability Guide".  From a 
hardware architecture point of view, you can find more 
about how it works in "z/Architecture Principles of 
Operation".
