Inclusive $H_b \to X_s \, \gamma$ decays, with $H_b$ a beauty baryon, are treated exploiting an expansion up to the third order in the inverse of the $b$ quark mass $m_b$ and to LO in $\alpha_s$, keeping the dependence on the hadron spin.…
Both meson photoproduction and semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering can potentially probe transversity properties of the nucleon. We explore how that potential can be realized dynamically. The role of rescattering in both exclusive and…
