The Comparative Study of the Inclusive $\ddot{I}{€}^0$ Analyzing Power in Reactions p+p(pol)->π^0 + X and π^-+p(pol)->π^0 + X at 50 and 40 Gev/C Respectively

Abstract

Single-spin asymmetries $A_N$ in reactions p+p(pol)->π^0 + X and π^-+p(pol)->π^0 + X at 50 and 40 GeV/c respectively behave in drastically different ways in function of transverse momentum in the central region. At the same time $A_N$ in the polarized proton fragmentation region of these reactions are practically coinciding. Our new data on the analyzing power at 50 GeV/c in the polarized proton fragmentation region in reaction p+p(pol)->π^0 + X confirm this conclusion with better statistics and coincide with our previous data at 70 GeV/c for the same reaction.
