Abstract

We extract the Boer-Mulders functions of valence and sea quarks in the proton from unpolarized p+Dp+D Drell-Yan data measured by the FNAL E866 Collaboration. Using these Boer-Mulders functions, we calculate the cos2ϕ\cos 2 \phi asymmetries in unpolarized pppp Drell-Yan processes, both for the FNAL E866/NuSea and the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) experiments. We also estimate the cos2ϕ\cos 2 \phi asymmetries in the unpolarized ppˉp\bar{p} Drell-Yan processes at GSI.
