Characteristics of the available data are briefly summarized. Different theoretical approaches are reviewed with special attention to a non-perturbative model which explicitly takes the orbital motion of the valence quarks into account. The…
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…
It has been realized for quite a long time that single-spin experiments, in which one of the colliding objects is transversely polarized, can be helpful in studying the properties of strong interaction in general and in testing Quantum…

Transverse single-spin asymmetries (SSA) are expected to be small in perturbative QCD because of the chiral nature of the theory. Experiment shows large transverse SSA for particle produced in special kinematics. This contribution reviews…

In this paper we perform the first simultaneous QCD global analysis of data from semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, Drell-Yan, $e^+e^-$ annihilation into hadron pairs, and proton-proton collisions. Consequently, we are able to…
Experimental data on transverse single-spin asymmetry, hyperon polarization and vector meson alignment in h+h, h+A and A+A-collisions have been analyzed. A new mechanism for the origin of single spin effects is proposed, which takes into…
Spin observables may reveal much deeper properties of non perturbative hadronic physics than unpolarized quantities. We discuss here possible origins of single spin asymmetries in DIS, absent in the elementary lepton-quark interactions, and…
Recent measurements from the HERMES and SMC collaborations show a remarkably large azimuthal single-spin asymmetries A_{UL} and A_{UT} of the proton in semi-inclusive pion leptoproduction. We show that final-state interactions from gluon…
We examine the single-spin asymmetry (SSA) caused by the five-quark components of the proton for semi-inclusive electroproduction of charged pions in deep-inelastic scattering on a transversely polarized hydrogen target. The large SSA is…
The observed results for the azimuthal single spin asymmetries (SSAs) of the proton, measured in the semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS), can be explained by the final-state interaction (FSI) from the gluon exchange between the…
