Abstract
AbstractWe present a phenomenological analysis of the $$q_{\text {T}}$$

-weighted transverse spin dependent azimuthal asymmetry recently measured by the COMPASS Collaboration in polarized pion-proton Drell–Yan process. In the kinematical regimes explored by experiments, we consider the leading-twist contributions from the Boer–Mulders distribution functions $$h_{1}^{\perp }(x,k_{\text {T}}^{2})$$

By comparing the data reported by the COMPASS Collaboration with theoretical calculated results, we find that the COMPASS measurements represent the first experimental evidence of the Boer–Mulders effect in polarized Drell–Yan process. We also test the universality between proton and pion Boer–Mulders functions.
