Title: Double spin asymmetries of inclusive hadron electroproduction from a transversely polarized He 3 target

Abstract

Here, we report the measurement of beam-target double-spin asymmetries ALT in the inclusive production of identified hadrons, e +³He → h + X, using a longitudinally polarized 5.9 GeV electron beam and a transversely polarized ³He target. Hadrons (π±, K± and proton) were detected at 16° with an average momentum $$\langle P_h\rangle$$ = 2.35 GeV/c and a transverse momentum (pT) coverage from 0.60 to 0.68 GeV/c. Asymmetries from the ³He target were observed to be non-zero for π± production when the target was polarized transversely in the horizontal plane. The π⁺ and π⁻ asymmetries have opposite signs, analogous to the behavior of ALT in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering.
