A complete, fundamental understanding of the proton must include knowledge of the underlying spin structure. The transversity distribution, $h_1\left(x\right)$, which describes the transverse spin structure of quarks inside of a…
We show how the transverse polarization of a quark initiating a jet can be probed by the azimuthal distribution of two hadrons (of large $z$) in the jet. This permits a twist 2 asymmetry in hard processes when only one of the initial…

Correlation between shower partons is first studied in high $p_T$ jets. Then in the framework of parton recombination the correlation between pions in heavy-ion collisions is investigated. Since thermal partons play very different roles in…
