Devoted to the theory and phenomenology of transverse-spin effects in high-energy hadronic physics, this book aims to assess the state of the art in this field, in which there has been much theoretical work over the past decade. Beginning with polarized deep-inelastic scattering, it covers the transverse spin structure of the proton, QCD and the structure function g2, Drell-Yan production, and inclusive leptoproduction and hadroproduction.
