Published online: 23 January 2015
Hadronic collisions with transversely polarized protons are an important part of the quest to understand the transverse spin structure of the proton. Experiments at RHIC collected large datasets at center of mass energies of 200 GeV and 500 GeV, accessing a kinematic regime where factorization is expected to hold. The STAR detector at RHIC, due to its azimuthal symmetry, particle identification capabilities and large acceptance compared with other experiments with polarized protons, is in a unique position to study transverse spin phenomena in p + p↑. This contribution will highlight measurements of transversity using di-hadron correlations, transverse single spin asymmetries in jets, measurements sensitive to the origins of the large single spin asymmetries measured in the forward direction, transverse spin asymmetries in W production, which are sensitive to modified universality effects of Sivers function as well as short and long-term upgrades at STAR.
