We discuss the angular distribution of the lepton pair in the Drell-Yan process, hadron+hadron -> \gamma^* X -> l^+ l^- X. This process gives information on the spin-density matrix \rho^{(q,\bar{q})} of the annihilating quark-antiquark pair…
We further consider a possibility that inside the proton and, more generally, inside the hadrons, there are additional partons - tensor gluons, which can carry a part of the proton momentum. The tensorgluons have zero electric charge, like…
We derive the twist-3 gluon fragmentation function (FF) contribution to the transversely polarized hyperon production in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, $ep\to e\Lambda^\uparrow X$, in the leading order (LO) with respect to the…

A novel method of formulating the twist-3 gluon fragmentation function contribution to hyperon polarization in the proton-proton collision is presented. The method employs a covariant gauge and takes full advantage of the Ward-Takahashi…
We discuss a few examples of structure functions for polarized, semi-inclusive scattering processes to show the richness of structure. Then we indicate how polarization and particle production can be used to study the quark and gluon…
These notes provide an introduction to polarization effects in deep inelastic processes in QCD. We emphasize recent work on transverse asymmetries, subdominant effects, and the role of polarization in fragmentation and in purely hadronic…
The Drell-Yan massive lepton-pair production in hadronic collisions provides a unique tool complementary to the Deep-Inelastic Scattering for probing the partonic substructures in hadrons. We review key concepts, approximations, and…
We calculate polarization asymmetries in photoproduction of high transverse momentum mesons, focusing on charged pions, considering the direct, fragmentation, and resolved photon processes. The results at very high meson momentum measure…
We show that the linearly polarized gluon distributions appear in the color dipole model as we derive the full cross sections of the DIS dijet production and the Drell-Yan dijet ($\gamma^*$ jet correlation) process. Together with the normal…
Inclusive production of a quarkonium $\eta_{c,b}$ in hadron collisions at low transverse momentum can be used to extract various Transverse-Momentum-Dependent(TMD) gluon distributions of hadrons, provided the TMD factorization for the…
We study the scattering of a single parton state with a multi-parton state to derive the complete results of perturbative coefficient functions at leading order, which appear in the collinear factorization for Single transverse-Spin…
We considered the electro- and photoproduction of \rho and other vector mesons with moderately large transverse momentum in the scattering of unpolarized electrons on unpolarized nucleons and nuclei. For these processes we have analyzed how…
We analyze the polarized Drell-Yan processes with spin-1/2 and spin-1 hadrons in a parton model. Quark and antiquark correlation functions are expressed in terms of possible combinations of Lorentz vectors and pseudovectors with the…
We compute the Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) of the unpolarised muon for the leptons, the photon, the light quarks, and the gluon. We discuss in detail the issues stemming from the necessity of evaluating the strong coupling constant…
We consider the azimuthal distribution of the final observed hadron in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering and the lepton pair in the Drell-Yan process. In particular, we focus on the $\cos \phi$ modulation of the unpolarized cross…

We study the production of transversely polarized Lambda hyperons in high-energy collisions of protons with large nuclei. The large gluon density of the target at saturation provides an intrinsic semi-hard scale which should naturally allow…
We propose to access the gluon polarization $\Delta G$ by measuring the cross section spin-asymmetry in semi-inclusive polarized lepton -- nucleon scattering. The photon-gluon fusion sub-process will be tagged by detecting high-$p_T$…
