چکیده
A short review is given of QCD spin physics and its major aims: obtaining the polarized gluon density, the transversity distribution and understanding single spin asymmetries. The importance of the Drell-Yan process, the role of electron-positron colliders and the use of polarization to probe other, not spin specific physics are emphasized.

Intrinsic transverse momentum and transverse spin asymmetries
We investigate leading twist transverse momentum dependent origins of transverse spin asymmetries in hadron-hadron collisions. The chiral-odd T-odd distribution function with intrinsic transverse momentum dependence, which would signal an intrinsic handedness of quarks inside a hadron, could account for single spin asymmetries and at the same time for the large cos 2φ asymmetry in the unpolariz...
متن کاملTheoretical Aspects of Spin Physics ∗
A summary is given of how spin enters in collinearly factorizing processes. Next, theoretical aspects of polarization in processes beyond collinear factorization are discussed in more detail, with special focus on recent developments concerning the color gauge invariant definitions of transverse momentum dependent distribution and fragmentation functions, such as the Sivers and Collins effect f...
متن کاملBounding W-W' mixing with spin asymmetries at RHIC.
The W boson can obtain a small right-handed coupling to quarks and leptons through mixing with a hypothetical W^{'} boson that appears in many extensions of the standard model. Measuring or even bounding this coupling to the light quarks is very challenging. Only one model independent bound on the absolute value of the complex mixing parameter has been obtained to date. Here we discuss a method...

متن کاملSpin Physics: Session Summary
Many spin physics experiments have been performed in recent years and many new exciting results have been reported at DIS 2007 [1], which will be highlighted in this summary. Also on the theory side many new results were reported, especially regarding transverse spin effects which are most challenging. Recent years have seen quite some unexpected developments concerning so-called TMDs, transver...
