We investigate the role of the transverse spin dependence in Drell Yan lepton pair production to NLO in QCD at parton level. In our analysis we deal with the large $p_T$ distributions. We give very compact expressions for the virtual…
We present the full next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) coefficient functions for the polarized cross section $d\Delta \sigma/dQ$ for the Drell-Yan process $p + p\to l^+l^- + 'X'$. Here $'X'$ denotes any inclusive hadronic state and $Q$…

Recently, it has been shown, contrary to previous beliefs, that the k_T distribution of quarks in a transversely polarized proton can be asymmetric. This ``Sivers effect'' had already been used to explain transverse single spin asymmetries…

The twist-three distributions $g_2(x)$ and $h_2(x)$ are defined as quark-field matrix elements between polarized hadron states. They can be written in terms of quark-mass and gluonic operators, after which the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule…
We study single spin asymmetries at one-loop accuracy in Drell-Yan processes in which one of the initial hadrons is transversely polarized. The spin-dependent part of differential cross-sections can be factorized with various hadronic…
Single transverse-spin asymmetries have been studied intensively both in experiment and theory. Theoretically, two factorization approaches have been proposed. One is by using transverse-momentum-dependent factorization and the asymmetry…
