Production Asymmetry Measurement of High Xt Hadrons in pp Collisions at 40 GeV
Single-spin asymmetries for hadrons have been measured in collisions of
transversely-polarized 40 GeV/c proton beam with an unpolarized liquid hydrogen
target. The asymmetries were measured for pi+-, K+-, protons and antiprotons,
produced in the central region (0.02 < Xf < 0.10 and 0.7 < Pt < 3.4 GeV/c).
Asymmetries for pi+-, K+- and antiprotons show within measurement errors the
linear dependence on Xt and change a sign near 0.37. For protons negative
asymmetry, independent of Xt has been found. The results are compared with
those of other experiments and SU(6) model predictions.Comment: 25 pages (Latex), 12 Postscript figure
