During the 2001-2002 proton run at RHIC, PHENIX collected an integrated luminosity of 0.15 pb-1 of transversely polarized proton collisions at a {radical}(s) = 200GeV/c. With this dataset the transverse single-spin asymmetry AN for {pi}0 and non-identified charged hadrons at xF = 0 has been measured up to p perpendicular = 5 GeV/c. Transverse Single Spin Asymmetries (SSA) are thought to come from at least three mechanisms, and in the future PHENIX will be able to decouple contributions to SSA from the Sivers function by measuring asymmetries in the back-to-back correlation in azimuthal angle of two high-p perpendicular hadrons.
