The perspectives of two new nonstandard methods of transversal quark polarization measurement are considered: the jet handedness and the so-called ”Collins effect” due to spin dependent T-odd fragmentation function responsible for the left-right asymmetry in fragmenting of transversally polarized quarks. Recent experimental indications in favor of these effects are observed: 1.The correlation o...
