We give a comprehensive review of the polarization asymmetries predicted by QCD and the parton model for hard processes. The article discusses the interrelation between these processes which include deep inelastic inclusive, massive lepton pairs, reflected and transmitted asymmetries in hadron production at large pT, prompt photon production, etc. We also discuss the validity of the formulae derived and the potential effects of non‐leading logarithmic and power orders.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
