A Fundamental Test of Universality:Transverse Spin Drell Yan at RHIC vs

Sivers Asymmetry in Deep Inelastic Scattering

• Important test at RHIC of recent fundamental QCD predictions for the Sivers effect, demonstrating… attractive vs repulsive color charge forces

----------------• Possible access to quark orbital angular momentum

• Requires very high luminosity (RHIC II)

• Both STAR and PHENIX can make important, exciting, measurements

• Discussion available at http://spin.riken.bnl.gov/rsc/

Attractive vs Repulsive “Sivers” EffectsUnique Prediction of Gauge Theory !

Sivers = Dennis Sivers (predicted orbital angular momentum origin of transverse asymmetries)
