ABSTRACT: It has recently been suggested that collisions of transversely polarized protons and antiprotons at the GSI could be used to determine the nucleon's transversity densities from measurements of the double-spin asymmetry for the Drell-Yan process. We investigate the QCD higher-order corrections, in this kinematic regime, in terms of available fixed-order contributions as well as of all-order soft-gluon resummations. We find these corrections are large, especially at large invariant mass regions. We examine the resummation formula with physically motivated cut-off which keep it away from the region where non-peturbative dynamics take place. We find that this reduce the large enhancements, moderately at lower scale collision, but rather at higher scale collisions.
