We calculate the rapidity dependence of the transverse double-spin asymmetry for the Drell-Yan process to next-to-leading order in strong coupling. Input transversity distributions are obtained by saturating the Soffer inequality at a low hadronic mass scale. Results for the polarized BNL RHIC proton-proton collider and the proposed DESY HERA-$\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{N}$ fixed-target …
