Single transverse spin asymmetries in p-p -> pion + X and l-p -> l-pion + X processes have been observed; their possible origins and connections are investigated. A phenomenological description within a pQCD generalized factorization scheme…
We study the spin correlations to probe time-reversal~(T) asymmetries in the decays of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda V ~(V=\phi, \rho^0, \omega, K^{*0})$. The eigenstates of the T-odd operators are obtained along with definite angular momenta. We…
For nonequilibrium steady states, we identify observables whose fluctuations satisfy a general symmetry and for which a new reciprocity relation can be shown. Unlike the situation in recently discussed fluctuation theorems, these…

On the basis of the handbag approach we study cross sections and spin asymmetries for leptoproduction of various vector and pseudoscalar mesons. Our results are in good agrement with high energy experiments. We analyse what information…
The ability of digital sky surveys to collect and store very large amounts of data provides completely new ways to study the local universe. Perhaps one of the most provocative observations reported with such tools is the asymmetry between…
The azimuthal single target-spin asymmetries for pi^{+} production in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering of leptons off longitudinally polarized protons are evaluated using two main approaches available in the literature. It is shown…
It is pointed out that the existing models for the left-right asymmetries observed in single-spin inclusive hadron production processes can be differentiated experimentally. Several such experiments are proposed with which the basic…
We study a possible origin of single spin asymmetries in the large $p_T$ inclusive production of hadrons in the scattering of unpolarized protons or leptons on transversely polarized nucleons. Such asymmetry is related to the single-spin…
The so-called time-reversal odd distribution functions are known to be non-vanishing in QCD due to the presence of the link operator in the definition of these quantities. I show that T-odd distributions can be non-vanishing also in chiral…

In this paper we will describe a parallel between phenomenological and symmetry-based descriptions of the process dependence of the time-reversal-odd phenomena in QCD, such as the Sivers effect, with the goal of defining the essential…
Single spin asymmetries in polarized proton(antiproton) + proton -> pion + X have been measured to be large. They can be understood within perturbative QCD by introducing new k_perp and spin dependences in fragmentation and/or distribution…
We discuss transverse spin effects caused by the spin-flip part of the Pomeron coupling with the proton. The predicted spin asymmetries in proton-proton scattering and QQ production in proton-proton and lepton-proton reactions are not small…
We consider the possibility of detecting spin precession in a magnetic field by nonequilibrium transport processes. We find that time reversal symmetry imposes strong constraints on the problem. Suppose the tunneling occurs directly between…
We show that a new beam-spin asymmetry appears in deep inelastic inclusive lepto-production at low transverse momenta when a hadron in the target fragmentation region is observed in association with another hadron in the current…
In this work we show that under specific anomalous diffusion conditions, chemical systems can produce well-ordered self-similar concentration patterns through a diffusion-driven instability. We also find spiral patterns and patterns with…
It is shown that the origin of the striking left-right asymmetries observed in single-spin inclusive hadron production processes in high energy hadron-hadron collisions can be traced by performing suitable experiments. Several new…
We study the kaon leptoproduction on the basis of the handbag approach. We consider the leading-twist contribution together with the transversity twist-3 effects which were found to be important in the description of pseudo-scalar meson…
