We argue that diffraction (Pomeron) contribution is present in the pp spin-flip amplitude. RHIC polarization will be able to prove (or disprove) this conjecture.
We consider double spin asymmetries for longitudinally polarized leptons and transversely polarized protons in diffractive vector meson and $Q \bar Q$ production at high energies within the two-gluon model. The asymmetry predicted for meson…
