We examine the integrated rates and differential cross-sections for b-quark pair production and Drell-Yan processes at the SSC and the Tevatron colliders, and we determine their sensitivity to a range of possible small x behaviors for the parton distribution functions (PDF’s). We find that both the integrated rates and the differential distributions for the Drell-Yan process are very sensitive to the unknown small x behavior of the PDF’s; whereas, only the integrated rates can distinguish various input PDF’s in the b-pair production process. Experiments at the Tevatron can provide very useful information on small x physics if these two processes, especially Drell-Yan, can be measured.

We calculate the single-spin and double-spin asymmetry differential cross sections for the polarized hadron scattering PP → l+ l- + jet up to O(αs) by the helicity amplitude method. Numerical results of the differential cross sections, which can be used to probe the spin contents of the proton, are obtained from several sets of polarized parton distribution functions.
