We discuss the possibility of finding polarized antiquark flavor asymmetry in Drell-Yan processes. We find that the difference between polarized proton-proton and proton-deuteron Drell-Yan cross sections should provide valuable information…
The $1/N_c$-expansion of QCD suggests large flavor asymmetries of the polarized antiquark distributions in the nucleon. This is confirmed by model calculations in the large-$N_c$ limit (chiral quark-soliton model), which give sizable…
The production of Drell-Yan pairs in the double polarized mode of HERA-$\vec{{\rm N}}$ is studied at next-to-leading order in QCD. It is found that a measurement of this observable could yield vital information on the polarization of the…
The results of a recent calculation of the QCD corrections to the longitudinally polarized Drell-Yan process are summarized. In addition to the parity conserving double spin asymmetry which is already accessible in the Drell-Yan production…
We discuss the relation between the ratio of the proton-deuteron (pd) Drell-Yan cross section to the proton-proton (pp) one \Delta_{(T)} \sigma_{pd}/2 \Delta_{(T)} \sigma_{pp} and the flavor asymmetry in polarized light-antiquark…
The lepton helicity distributions in the polarized Drell-Yan process at RHIC energy are investigated. In the absence of the weak interaction, only the measurement of lepton helicity can prove the antisymmetric part of the hadronic tensor.…
We discuss the flavor asymmetry of polarized light antiquarks in the nucleon, $\Delta\bar{u}-\Delta\bar{d}$. We present a determination of this quantity based on two global QCD analyses of experimental data, DSSV08 and NNPDFpol1.1, in which…
We study the $\cos2\phi$ azimuthal asymmetry in doubly longitudinally polarized proton-proton Drell-Yan collisions within the transverse momentum dependent factorization framework. The asymmetry arises from the convolution of the…
Significant differences between transverse and longitudinal polarized parton distributions are found at low energies within a light-front covariant quark model of the nucleon. These differences are due to relativistic spin effects…
We discuss the Drell-Yan proton-deuteron (p-d) asymmetry R_{pd}, which is defined by the proton-proton and proton-deuteron cross-section ratio \Delta_{(T)}\sigma^{pd}/2\Delta_{(T)}\sigma^{pp}, and its relation to the polarized…
We summarize recent attempts to calculate the flavor asymmetry of the nucleon's sea quark distributions in the large-$N_c$ limit, where the nucleon can be described as a soliton of an effective chiral theory. We discuss the leading-twist…
The lepton helicity distributions in the polarized Drell-Yan process at RHIC energy are investigated. For the events with relatively low invariant mass of lepton pair in which the weak interaction is negligible, only the measurement of…
Polarized flavor asymmetry Delta u-bar/Delta d-bar is investigated in a meson-cloud model. A polarized nucleon splits into a rho meson and a baryon, then the polarized rho meson interacts with the virtual photon. Because of the difference…
The possibilities to determine the flavor structure of the polarized sea (antiquark) distributions of the nucleon via vector boson $(\gamma^*, W^{\pm}, Z^0)$ production at high energy polarized hadron--hadron colliders, such as the…
It is shown that the longitudinal double spin asymmetry $A_{ll}$ in polarized diffractive $Q \bar Q$ production depends strongly on the spin structure of the quark-pomeron vertex. Relevant experiments will be possible at HERA with a…
The flavor dependence of polarized and unpolarized quark distributions in the nucleon can lead to insights into the formation of the sea. Drell-Yan measurements have pointed to flavor asymmetries in the unpolarized distributions. Collisions…
The light flavor antiquark distributions of the nucleon sea are calculated in the effective chiral quark model and compared with experimental results. The contributions of the flavor-symmetric sea-quark distributions and the nuclear EMC…
We discuss transversity distributions and Drell-Yan transverse double spin asymmetries. First, the antiquark flavor asymmetry $\Delta_{_T} \bar u/\Delta_{_T} \bar d$ is discussed by using two different descriptions, a meson-cloud model and…
The production of heavy flavor quark pairs, including top-anti-top, at the LHC proceeds primarily through gluon fusion. The correlation between the gluon spins affects various spin correlations between the produced quark and anti-quark.…
Large double spin-asymmetries can be foreseen for Drell-Yan production in $p p$ scattering at JPARC energies. The sign of the asymmetries can be used to discriminate between different model calculations of sea quark distributions.
