Abstract
We extract the Boer-Mulders functions for the proton by combining the unpolarized pd and pp Drell-Yan data measured by the E866/NuSea Collaboration by the assumption that the asymmetry is from the Boer-Mulders function. Using the extracted Boer-Mulders functions, we present the predictions for the asymmetries in future pp experiments at J-PARC and experiments at PANDA and PAX.
