We report the first measurement of target single-spin asymmetries (A_N) in the inclusive hadron production reaction, e + ³He↑→h+X, using a transversely polarized ³ He target. This experiment was conducted at Jefferson Lab in Hall A using a 5.9-GeV electron beam. Three types of hadrons (π^±, K^± and proton) were detected in the transverse hadron momentum range 0.54 < p_T < 0.74 GeV/c. The range of x_F for pions was -0.29 < x_F< -0.23 and for kaons -0.25 < x_F<-0.18. The observed asymmetry strongly depends on the type of hadron. A positive asymmetry is observed for π⁺ and K⁺. A negative asymmetry is observed for π–. The magnitudes of the asymmetries follow |A^π ^–|<|A^π ⁺|<|A^K ⁺|. The K^– and proton asymmetries are consistent with zero within the experimental uncertainties. The π⁺ and π^– asymmetries measured for the ₃He target and extracted for neutrons are opposite in sign with a small increase observed as a function of p_T.
