Abstract
We carefully study the production of W ±-bosons in singly-polarized hadron-hadron collisions. In the region of small transverse momenta of the produced W ± we perform the soft gluon resummation to double logarithmic accuracy. Special emphasis is laid on matching the resummed expression to the O( α s) perturbative result valid at large transverse momenta. We investigate the phenomenological relevance of our results for pp-collisions at RHIC and show that in the future single-spin W ±-production may help to shed more light on the surprising EMC-result.
