Single Spin Asymmetry $A_N$ (SSA) was measured at the Protvino 70 GeV accelerator. Asymmetry in the reaction $\ppdup$ is close to zero within error bars at small $|\xf|$ and $p_T<1.5$ GeV/c. SSA in the reaction $\pimp$ at polarized target…
We consider the recent RHIC data on the transverse single spin asymmetry (SSA) A_N, measured in p(transv. polarized) p -> pi^0 X processes at mid-rapidity by the PHENIX collaboration. The measurement is consistent with a vanishing SSA. We…
