摘要：
Recently, it has been shown, contrary to previous beliefs, that the k(perpendicular to) distribution of quarks in a transversely polarized proton can be asymmetric. This "Sivers effect" had already been used to explain transverse single spin asymmetry (SSA) observed in inclusive pion production p(up arrow)p-->piX and (p) over bar (up arrow)p-->piX. In such channels, however, other mechanisms, such as the "Collins effect" (a k(perpendicular to) asymmetric fragmentation of a transversely polarized quark into pions), may generate SSA. The Sivers asymmetry is used here to compute the SSA in Drell-Yan processes; in this case, by considering the differential cross section in the lepton-pair invariant mass, rapidity, and transverse momentum, other mechanisms that may originate SSA cannot contribute. Estimates for BNL RHIC experiments are given.
