Transverse target single-spin asymmetry in inclusive electroproduction of charged pions and kaons
2014
Single-spin
asymmetrieswere investigated in inclusive electroproduction of charged
pionsand kaons from transversely polarized protons at the
HERMES experiment. The
asymmetrieswere studied as a function of the azimuthal angle ψ about the beam direction between the target-spin direction and the hadron production plane, the transverse hadron momentum relative to the direction of the incident beam, and the Feynman variable xF. The sin(ψ) amplitudes are positive for positive
pionsand kaons, slightly negative for negative
pionsand consistent with zero for negative kaons, with particular transverse-momentum but weak xF dependences. Especially large
asymmetriesare observed for two small subsamples of events, where also the scattered electron was recorded by the spectrometer.
