One of the possible explanations for this spin puzzle of the nucleons could come from including contributions from the angular momentum of the sea quarks. I will discuss the current status, introduce the Drell-Yan process to study the sea quark behavior and will present a detailed description of a planned and approved experiment at Fermilab with a transversely polarized target.</p> <p align="center"> <br /> &nbsp;</p> <p align="center"> Presentation: OCNPS 200 @ 3:00 pm</p> <p align="center"> Refreshments: Atrium @ 2:30 pm</p> <p align="center"> More details at <a href="http://sci.odu.edu/physics/">http://sci.odu.edu/physics/</a></p> <p align="center"> All are Welcome!</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p>
