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.
