The large transverse single spin asymmetries (SSA) of high [Formula: see text] inclusive hadrons produced in polarized proton collisions are usually explained by means of collinear twist-3 multi-parton correlations. In this picture these asymmetries can originate from initial-state twist-3 parton distributions in the polarized proton and/or through the coupling between proton transversity and twist-3 fragmentation functions. The measurement of SSA for forward inclusive hadrons produced in [Formula: see text] collisions out to high transverse momentum helps to examine the validity and interplay of these initial- and final-state models. These models can be further explored by investigating the dependence of the SSA on event topologies. We present our latest status on the measurement of SSA for forward inclusive [Formula: see text] detected within [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] = 500 GeV [Formula: see text] collisions as well as its dependence on event topologies. We will also present our analysis of Sivers and Collins asymmetries for forward jet-like events consisting of multi-photon final states. The measurements are based on the data taken in 2011 with integrated luminosity [Formula: see text] 22 [Formula: see text].

Single spin asymmetry measurements ([Formula: see text]) of the azimuthal distribution of charged pions inside jets produced in transversely polarized proton collisions are sensitive to the transversity distribution and the Collins fragmentation function. The STAR Detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider is well suited for these types of measurements as it is capable of full jet reconstruction and charged pion identification in the mid-rapidity region ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]). We report here the first observation of Collins [Formula: see text] asymmetries in [Formula: see text] GeV [Formula: see text] collisions.

The inclusive large-pTproduction of a single pion, jet or direct photon, and Drell-Yan processes, are considered for proton-proton collisions in the kinematical range expected for the fixed-target experiment AFTER, proposed at LHC. For all these processes, predictions are given for the transverse single-spin asymmetry,AN, computed according to a Generalised Parton Model previously discussed in the literature and based on TMD factorisation. Comparisons with the results of a collinear twist-3 approach, recently presented, are made and discussed.
