Abstract
The transversity-dependent quark distribution and fragmentation functions are defined and their possible experimental probes are reviewed with a minimum number of formulas. The prototype of such probes is doubly polarized Drell-Yan reaction. Other probes are obtained from it using two ways of generalization: replacing the subprocess {up_arrow}q{up_arrow}q-bar{yields}l{sup +}l{sup -}by different {up_arrow}q+{up_arrow}q-bar or {up_arrow}q+{up_arrow}q collisions, using crossing symmetry, convert one or both polarized initial baryons into final ones which become quark polarimeters; an example is e{sup -}+{up_arrow}p{yields}e{sup -}+{up_arrow}{Lambda}+X. A recent idea for a mesonic quark polarimeter is mentioned. (author) 10 refs.; 4 figs.
