  2. Central Physics Issue Transversity distribution of the nucleon: • last leading-twist missing piece of the QCD description of the partonic structure of the nucleon • directly accessible uniquely via the double transverse spin asymmetry ATT in the Drell-Yan production of lepton pairs • theoretical expectations for ATT in DY, 30-40% • transversely polarized antiprotons • transversely polarized proton target • definitive observation of h1q(x,Q2) of the proton for the valence quarks

  4. Evaluation by QCD Program Advisory Committee (July 2004) • STI Report: • Your LoI has convinced the QCD-PAC • that Polarization must be included into the design of FAIR from the beginning, and • that the presently proposed scheme is not optimized as to the physics. You […] are invited and encouraged to design a world-class facility with unequalled degree of polarization of antiprotons. • Common Report: • […] The PAC considers the spin physics of extreme interest and the building of an antiproton polarized beam as a unique possibility for the FAIR Project. • […] The unique physics opportunities, made possible with polarized antiproton beams and/or polarized target are extremely exciting, especially in double spin measurements. • […] It would be very unfortunate if decisions about the facility, made now, later preclude the science.
