Light-Cone Meson-Baryon Fluctuations and Single-Spin Asymmetries

Abstract

We show that energetically favored meson-baryon fluctuations present in the light-cone wave function of a transversely polarized proton can account for the left-right asymmetries measured in inclusive meson production processes.
