Title: Double-Spin Asymmetry A{sub LT} for Polarized Drell-Yan Process in pp-bar Collisions: Wandzura-Wilczek Contribution

Abstract

The longitudinal-transverse spin asymmetry A{sub LT} in the polarized Drell-Yan process depends on twist-3 quark distributions of nucleon. In addition to the contributions associated with the twist-3 operators, these distributions contain the 'Wandzura-Wilczek (WW)' part, which is determined by a certain integral of twist-2 distributions. The recently obtained empirical information on the transversity allows a realistic estimate of the WW contribution to A{sub LT} for the polarized pp-bar collisions. Our results indicate that rather large A{sub LT}({approx}10%) can be observed in the proposed spin experiments at GSI, with novel pattern as a function of dilepton mass compared with A{sub TT} and A{sub LL}.
