Single-spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive pion production are measured by the HERMES experiment for the first time, with a transversely polarised hydrogen target. Two different sine-dependencies are extracted which can be related to the…
Measurements of the cross sections for the production of single top quarks and antiquarks in the $t$ channel, and their ratio, are presented for proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data set used was recorded…
We review the density matrix formalism and the positivity conditions for general multiple spin asymmetries, taking as an example the case antiproton + proton -> antiLambda + Lambda, in which one, two or three spins are analyzed. Some…
Reported here are transverse single-spin asymmetries ($A_{N}$) in the production of charged hadrons as a function of transverse momentum ($p_T$) and Feynman-$x$ ($x_F$) in polarized $p^{\uparrow}$+$p$, $p^{\uparrow}$+Al, and…

On the basis of the mechanism proposed for one-spin asymmetries in inclusive hadron production we specify an $x$--dependence of asymmetries in inclusive processes of pion production. The main role in generation of this asymmetry belongs to…

We analyze the production of a single top squark at hadron colliders: ppbar/pp -> \tilde{t}_1 + X. The total cross sections and the transverse momentum distributions are presented in next-to-leading order QCD. The higher-order corrections…
We describe the off-diagonal spin basis for observing angular correlations in top quark pair production events at the Fermilab Tevatron. For events initiated by quark-antiquark annihilation, the top and antitop quark spins are 100%…
We investigate the scaling properties in inclusive hadron production and the associated single transverse spin asymmetry in the forward rapidity region at RHIC. We find that the spin-averaged experimental data in both $pp$ and $dAu$…
Using the variational method, we calculate the mass of the J^P=1^+ (ud)bar(bb) tetraquark containing two identical heavy antiquarks in a nonrelativistic potential model with color confinement and spin hyperfine interaction. In particular,…
The $\gamma^* \gamma \to \pi \pi \pi$ reaction is analysed in QCD at large photon virtuality Q and small hadronic mass W. Its amplitude factorizes in a $3 \pi$ generalized distribution amplitude and a hard subprocess $\gamma^* \gamma \to q…
We discuss a nonperturbative mechanism for the single-spin asymmetries (SSA) in the strong interaction. This mechanism is based on the existence of a large anomalous quark chromomagnetic moment (AQCM) induced by the nontrivial topological…
Theoretically there are two approaches to predict single spin azimuthal asymmetries. One is to take transverse momenta of partons into account by using transverse momentum dependent parton distributions, while another is to take asymmetries…
The object of this thesis is to study the spin-spin correlations for top quark productions and their decay at polarized e^+e^- linear colliders. For the analyses of the spin-spin correlations in top quark production, we introduce a generic…
We study the transverse single spin asymmetry in Drell-Yan production in pA collisions with incoming protons being transversely polarized. We carry out the calculation using a newly developed hybrid approach. The polarized cross section…

The difference in the properties of the spin correlation tensor for factorizable and nonfactorizable two-particle states is analyzed. The inequalities for linear combinations of the components of this tensor are obtained for the case of…
We consider a general formalism, previously developed to describe single spin asymmetries (SSA) in inclusive particle production at moderately large $p_T$ in hadron-hadron high-energy processes. In this approach SSA can originate from non…
We suggest that the large single spin asymmetries observed at high momentum fractions x_F and transverse momenta k_T of the pion in p^\uparrow p -> \pi(x_F,k_T)+X arise from the coherence of the soft interactions with the hard parton…
