Double spin asymmetries in the diffractive $Q \bar Q$ and $J/\Psi$ leptoproduction are discussed. It is shown that the asymmetries for longitudinally polarized lepton and longitudinally or transversely polarized proton can be used to study…
We argue that a large fraction of the proton spin comes from a contribution due to a nonperturbative intrinsic charm component of the proton. An account of this contribution removes an apparent contradiction between the data and exact…
We point out that measuring longitudinal polarizations of different hyperons produced in lepton induced reactions are ideal to study the spin transfer of the fragtmenting quark to produced hadron in high energy hadronization processes. We…

Spontaneous polarization of $\Lambda/\bar{\Lambda}$ in unpolarized hadron interactions has been observed experimentally for nearly half a century and still eludes a definitive explanation. One possible origin is the effect arising from…
