TLDR
In this article, the analyzing power in inclusive charged pion production has been measured using the 200 GeV Fermilab polarized proton beam, and it was shown that at large x(F) the transverse spin of the proton is correlated with that of its quark constituents.

Fragmentation of transversely polarized quarks probed in transverse momentum distributions

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the azimuthal dependence of the distribution of hadrons in a quark jet is a probe of the transverse spin of the quark initiating the jet.

Transverse polarisation of quarks in hadrons

TL;DR: In this paper, the transversity distributions of quarks were formally defined within the framework of a classification of all leading-twist distribution functions, and a comprehensive treatment of nonperturbative calculations of transversality distributions (within the quark models, lattice QCD and QCD sum rules) was presented.

Sum rule for deep-inelastic electroproduction from polarized protons

TL;DR: In this paper, a sum rule for the asymmetry in deepinelastic scattering of polarized electrons from polarized protons was derived from the quark light-cone algebra and the assumption that strange quarks do not contribute to the asymmetric scattering.

Λ 0 Hyperon Polarization in Inclusive Production by 300-GeV Protons on Beryllium

TL;DR: In this article, the observed polarization was consistent with parity conservationa and increased monotonically with increasing p/sub perpendicular/ independently of x, reaching P/sub..lambda../ = 0.28 +- 0.08 at 1.5 GeV/c.

Models for polarization asymmetry in inclusive hadron production

TL;DR: A description of the origin of the polarization asymmetry in terms of Thomas precession of the quarks' spins in the recombination process accounts for all of the qualitative features of the baryon and antibaryon polarization data.
