Abstract

The Drell-Yan process offers access, complementary to deep inelastic scattering (DIS) to the transverse-momentum distributions of the quarks within a hadron. When neither the beam nor the target are polarized, the angular distributions of Drell-Yan scattering provide access to the h⊥1 , Boer-Mulders, distribution. With the addition of either a polarized beam or target, other transverse-momentum distributions (TMDs) can be accessed, in particular the Sivers’ distribution, f⊥1'. Existing Boer-Mulders and planned Sivers’ Drell-Yan measurements of these distributions are discussed.
