The analyzing power AN of proton-proton elastic scattering in the Coulomb-nuclear interference region has been measured using the 200-GeV/c Fermilab polarized proton beam. A theoretically predicted interference between the hadronic non-spin-flip amplitude and the electromagnetic spin-flip amplitude is shown for the first time to be present at high energies in the region of 1.5 × 10−3 to 5.0 × 10−2 (GeV/c)2 four-momentum transfer squared, and our results are analyzed in connection with theoretical calculations. In addition, the role of possible contributions of the hadronic spin-flip amplitude is discussed.

The analyzing power in inclusive charged pion production has been measured using the 200 GeV Fermilab polarized proton beam. A striking dependence in x F is observed in which A N increases from 0 to 0.42 with increasing x F for the π + data and decreases from 0 to −0.38 with increasing x F for π − data. The kinematic range covered is 0.2⩽ x F ⩽0.9 and 0.2⩽ p T ⩽2.0 GeV / c . In a simple model our data indicate that at large x F the transverse spin of the proton is correlated with that of its quark constituents.

The single-spin asymmetry $A_N(PP)$ for inclusive $\pi^0$ production at 0.5 < Pt< 2 GeV/c by 200-GeV transversely-polarized antiprotons on protons has been measured at Fermilab over a wide range of xp. We observe that AN (15P) has the same sign, a similar $x_F$ dependence, and about half the magnitude as $A_N(PP)$ for $\pi^0$ production by protons. We also present the ratio of the spin-averaged cross sections for $\pi^0$ production by antiprotons and by protons.

Ratio of the spin averaged invariant cross section for PI0 production in p p and pbar p interactions.
The spin asymmetryAN for inclusive π0 production by 200-GeV transversely-polarized protons on a liquid hydrogen target has been measured at Fermilab over a wide range ofxF, with 0.5<pT<2 GeV/c. AtxF>0.3, the asymmetry rises with increasingxF and reaches a value ofAN=0.15±0.03 in the region 0.6<xF<0.8. This result provides new input regarding the question of the internal spin structure of transversely-polarized protons.

A measurement of the single-spin asymmetry A N in p↑ + p→ π 0 + X at 200 GeV with x F = 0 shows a transition in the production process from a “ low -x T ” regime with A N = 0, through an intermediate region of negative asymmetry, to a “ high -x T ” regime with A N > 0.3. This transition occurs at x T ≈ 0.4 and is consistent with x T -scaling of A N in pion production using polarized beams or targets from √− s =5.2 to 19.4 GeV. Results for A N in η production by polarized protons and in π 0 production by polarized antiprotons are also presented.

Data on multiplicity, correlations, and inclusive spectra of KS0 mesons and Λ0(Λ¯0) hyperons produced with xF≤0 in inelastic pNe20 and pN interactions at 300 GeV are presented and compared. The inclusive cross sections for pNe20 (pN) with xF≤0 are 61.1±2.8 mb (3.34±0.64 mb) for KS0, 40.8±2.5 mb (1.89±0.29 mb) for Λ0, and 3.9±0.5 mb (0.31±0.08 mb) for Λ¯0. The multiplicity ratio for pNe20 and pN interactions is 1.58±0.16 for KS0, 1.95±0.23 for Λ0, and 1.12±0.43 for Λ¯0. We have observed the Σ0(1193) hyperon and measured the average multiplicity (nΣ0=0.049±0.027) for xF≤0. We have also observed the strange resonances K*(892), K*(1415), and Σ*(1385) with xF≤0 and measured the fraction of V0 coming from each resonance. Λ0 polarization for xF≤0 is measured and shows a decrease as p⊥ increases [pΛ(pNe20)≈−0.25 at p⊥=1.5 GeV/c], in agreement with other experiments which measure polarization in the region xF≫0. Since (43±7)% of the Λ0 are produced in Σ0→Λ0γ decays, the Λ0 polarization is significantly greater than the measured values. Experimental results are compared to predictions of the Lund model and the dual parton model of soft hadron-nucleus and hadron-nucleon interactions.

A single-spin asymmetry in the inclusive π 0 production at small x F was measured. In the experiment 40 GeV/c π − mesons were incident on transversely polarized protons and deutrons. An asymmetry of (40–50)% has been revealed in the hard scattering region.

The analyzing power (spin-dependent azimuthal asymmetry) has been observed for the first time in the nuclear Coulomb coherent production process, the ‘‘Primakoff process,’’ with the use of the newly constructed 185-GeV/c Fermilab polarized proton beam. We have observed a large asymmetry of this process in the regions of ‖t’‖<0.001 (GeV/c)2 and 1.36<M(π0p)<1.52 GeV/c2, where the Coulomb process is predominant. The measured asymmetry is consistent with the analyzing power of the existing low-energy γ+p→π0+p data.
